The 6-inch-by-9-inch glossy outer features two poly windows, both of which show through to the enclosed letter. The top poly window announces, “Special card for Edithalice [the sponsored child] enclosed!” and the second is the address window. Between the windows is the teaser, “Party Enclosed!” and alongside is a colorful illustration of people standing on green grass holding a giant cupcake with icing designed to resemble a map of the world, sprinkles and a single lit candle. All around the cupcake is a smattering of colorful confetti.
