This is a pencil drawing of a single birthday candle. The candle is striped and stands in an oval frame, with shading that darkens towards the edges. It gives the effect that the candle is lighting up the darkness. The flame is drawn with a slight wave to it and gets darker toward the centre where it’s hottest. The candle is melting closest to the flame. Wax drips down toward the base.

A simple, black-and-white line drawing featuring two characters side by side. On the left is a character resembling Cousin Itt from The Addams Family. He is drawn as a tall, column-shaped figure entirely covered in long, wavy hair that flows from the top of his head to his feet. He wears a small round hat and glasses that sit over his hair, the only elements distinguishing his face. To the right is a cartoon-like girl with flowing hair that extends outward in large, rounded curls, taking up most of her figure. Her face is small and centred within her hair, with closed eyes and a gentle, content expression. The waves of her hair mirror Cousin Itt’s, creating a visual connection between the two characters.

This is a simple heart drawn in pencil. A gradient makes it appear three-dimensional. The heart is shaded in grey tones, with a darker outline around the edges and lighter, textured shading towards the centre. On the upper left side of the heart, there are several circular highlights that resemble light reflections. The overall texture of the heart appears rough, giving it a somewhat weathered or broken appearance.
