The fish, with its open mouth and expressive eyes, seems to be greeting the viewer with a cheerful grin. The card's body is cleverly crafted in the shape of a fish, with a silver metal griddle serving as its background. The fish's tail fins are artfully cut out, adding a playful touch to the design.
