Square printed backglass with a large deep-red circular medallion at centre framed by sweeping curved bands. Across the top, arched block letters spell CINDERELLA in cream/white capitals with pink-red shading and a dark outline. A young woman stands centre in a pale blue-white ruffled ball gown with a full overskirt, bare shoulders and puffed sleeves, blonde hair in an updo; her right forearm is raised across her eyes and her left arm extends outward. At lower left a young man in a bright red cape, cream tights and a green-and-white ruffled collar kneels on one knee, reaching up towards her; he has short red hair. Three small round objects like balloons or sweets (pink, orange-and-green, green-and-white) float behind him. To the right, an orange-yellow pumpkin coach with round wheels sits on a green hill, and a small woman in a pale dress stands in a round white window. A pale purple pumpkin hangs upper right. Dark green trees flank the scene, with a blue crenellated castle wall on the right edge. The lower third has a lime-green star-speckled curved band and an orange band with white stars, a large '10' at lower left, a printed maker line along the bottom, and a row of coloured ribbon score values from 100000 to 800000 down the left side and across the top.
