On a turquoise blue linen background, an African or African American Barbie models a pair of blue jeans, a tee shirt, and a multi-colored poncho with an African-style color scheme on the poncho's cotton fabric. The words on this square image say "free patterns" over the top of the ChellyWood.com logo.

On a turquoise blue linen background, we see the words "Free Patterns," accompanying a photo of a Rainbow High Sheryl doll from MGM. The doll wears a handmade red, green, white, and black plaid dress with red ribbon straps. The dress's skirt is almost long enough to cover the doll's knees, but not quite. The doll's light brown eyes glisten as if wet. Her golden locks float around her shoulders and down her back. In the left corner of the turquoise blue linen frame, we see the logo for Chelly Wood dot com.
