With flowers in their hair, two boys are pulling a cart which carries a girl who is adjusting the flowers in her hair. The cart has wheels and is adorned with green foliage and pink roses. The entire scene lifts off to access an inkwell and a sander resting in the oval-shaped base decorated with flowers.
