On the left, a small wizard with dark hair, an orange star-covered hat and robe, and brown boots is holding a wand that emits sparkles. On the right, a tall golden-armoured knight with a pink banner on its helmet holds a flag and a sword with a smiling face. Behind them is a grand stately home, resembling a historic manor or museum, with tall trees and flowers dotting the landscape.
