The intricately cut-out card is crafted from heavy brown paper, giving it a warm and rustic feel. The bottle is adorned with delicate wax drips and stubs, mimicking the authentic look of a real candle. Two playful mice, peeking out from the sides of the bottle, add a delightful touch of humor to the design. Their cheerful expressions and rosy cheeks convey the joy and excitement of the upcoming New Year. The mice's small hands are reaching towards the candle, as if trying to light it, symbolizing the hope and anticipation for the fresh start that the New Year brings. This enchanting card is a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the Victorian era.
