Illuminated backglass inside a wide golden-yellow wooden outer frame with a thin black inner border. Background is flat magenta-pink overlaid with large lime-green and orange concentric swirl rings, giving a 1970s pop-art flower-power look. Across the upper left is a big angular hand-lettered logo reading KRAZY in bright green block capitals with yellow inline highlights, sitting on a large purple star shape outlined in black; a small cursive signature in the top-left corner reads Bally. Four elongated stylised female figures with angular, faceless-limbed limbs are drawn in flat peach and orange tones: at centre-left a red-haired woman in profile leaning forward; at right a large red-haired woman with a flower in her hair, green-and-orange paisley dress and purple platform shoe, holding a wide wine glass filled with red wine; at lower centre-left a green-haired woman in a red beret decorated with a white star, large hoop earrings and a plunging purple top, her arms thrown wide; a fourth arm and hand rise behind the logo top-right. Two black angled score panels with five rectangular windows each sit mid-left and upper-right, labelled in yellow and pink. Bottom text reads 1 or 2 can play and BALL in PLAY.
