Text on Card

A Happy Easter-Tide To have a happy Easter-tide Some eggs this kitty took, The chicken caught her by the tail, And now - Just look! Just look!

Description

A mischievous rooster with brilliant golden plumage and a small chick in the scene set the stage for this charming Easter greeting card featuring anthropomorphized animal antics. A cat in a blue jacket runs while carrying a wicker basket filled with decorated Easter eggs topped with a red bow, pursued aggressively from behind by the rooster, while the chick appears at the left. The card text reads 'A Happy Easter-Tide' with a verse below in flowing script. The warm palette of cream, gold, red, and purple creates an inviting, nostalgic atmosphere.
