Vintage St. Patrick's Day Card: Cheerful Girl in Green Clover Dress

This curly-haired girl has been swaddled in a voluminous green cape so aggressively round and puffy it has essentially consumed her entire body from chin to shin, leaving only her smiling face, white bonnet with shamrocks, and two tiny black shoes dangling below like an afterthought—somewhere between 'adorable Irish child' and 'sentient green bell pepper.' She beams with the unsettling confidence of someone who knows she has defeated fabric. The lace trim layered across her chest area reads as either festive or disturbingly decorative depending on how much you've had to drink, and the cursive poem at the bottom about 'the emerald sod' is doing absolutely nothing to help this card's vibe.
