A shining candle dominates the card. The wax is red and it is set in a gold base, which has a pendulum hanging from it; the candle is surrounded by holly. Its flame is orange and has a face drawn into it; the rays of light it throws off are yellow. "May your Christmas be bright" is printed underneath the arrangement.
