Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 3:2 landscape. Overhead view of one chunky square sewing button, slightly rotated and placed left of centre, with ample empty space on the right. Exaggerated proportions: a broad, softly uneven mustard-yellow rim surrounds a small recessed centre with four tiny dark holes and two short crossed burgundy thread strokes. Rounded corners, one corner noticeably wider than the others. A few broad pale marks along the rim suggest years of gentle wear, not damage. Opaque tempera poster-paint fills, chalky matte surfaces, loose dark-plum felt-tip contours and minimal visible brushwork. Flat lavender backdrop wash with one simple offset plum shadow. Warm, playful, quietly nostalgic; instantly legible at thumbnail size. No fabric, extra objects, intricate hatching or photorealistic rendering. No text, logos or watermarks.
