Wreaths of green foliage wrap around the lower curves, supporting open pink lilies with speckled petals and upright purple tulips on both sides. Across the top, the title “Caregiver” arches in a creamy vintage serif typeface. Beneath the floral arrangement, the matching motto reads “Not by choice but by heart” across two balanced lines, grounding the nursing theme in heartfelt dedication.
