In this picture

A striped kitten peers over the edge of an open paper bag with both front paws hooked over the rim. Its upright tail rises on the right. A spool of ribbon sits outside the bag, with a long loose ribbon curling across the foreground. Fold lines divide the bag into angular front and side panels.
