Thanksgiving

Description

A proud turkey stands with dramatically fanned tail feathers in rich browns, golds, and deep greens against a cheerful chartreuse background, its distinctive red and blue head coloring on full display. To the left, a crystal or cut-glass vase holds tall leafy greens (likely celery), while beneath and beside the turkey sits a plate with a roasted dish (likely a roasted turkey or pudding) garnished with autumn leaves. Autumn foliage is visible in the upper right corner of this magnificent Thanksgiving greeting card.
