Fingerprint: Pinky in huge slanted red script with white drop shadow, sky-blue field scattered with white five-pointed stars and dozens of glossy three-dimensional spheres and discs in red green yellow orange white printed with numbers 1 through 900 like floating lottery balls, smiling blonde woman in strapless yellow gown with red shading filling lower center, purple diagonal banner with Million in white cursive
A whole sky crowded with glossy coloured spheres and discs, each printed with a dotted number from 1 up to 900, like giant floating lottery balls or bingo counters. Overlaid on that, a huge red script word 'Pinky' with a white drop shadow slanting up from the lower left. A smiling blonde woman in a strapless yellow gown fills the lower centre, and a vertical column of six numbered red-and-white star flowers runs down the right edge. A dark purple diagonal banner carrying the word 'Million' in white cursive cuts across the starry blue upper left.

A photographed, wood-framed backglass in bright mid-century cartoon style. A sky-blue field is scattered with white five-pointed stars, and a huge dark-purple diagonal swash across the upper left carries the word 'Million' in tall white cursive. Dozens of glossy three-dimensional spheres and discs in red, green, yellow, orange and white crowd the upper half, each printed with a number in dots or digits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 50, 60, 70, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 and 900. A red rectangular sign with a dotted white border and white script reading 'Williams' sits at centre, above a small dark maroon 1930s-style car on a road. Dominating the lower centre is a smiling blonde woman in a strapless yellow gown with red shading and a small pendant necklace. Beside her, 'Pinky' is lettered in huge slanted red script with a white drop shadow. Supporting vignettes include a martini glass, a woman in a black swimsuit perched on a white-topped cocktail glass, a line of tiny red-and-white marching figures carrying a pole, a small man in a dark suit, and a row of dancing women in yellow and red skirts on green ground at lower right. A column of six red-and-white star-shaped flowers on a green leafy vine runs down the right edge, numbered 1 to 6.
