The word "Merry" repeats four times in a cascading stack, each instance rendered in a different color: red, golden orange, dusty teal, and black. Set against a warm cream background, the bold, rounded lettering has a playful retro character that evokes mid-century cheerfulness and festive warmth. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
