These include various stylized leaves and flowers, arranged in a continuous, interwoven pattern that frames the central calendar. The color palette is subtle, utilizing earth tones of green, brown, and beige, which complement the overall aesthetic of an elegant and harmonious design. Small embellishments, resembling gems, are interspersed throughout the foliage in the border, adding a touch of color contrast with hues of red and green.
