A gray hare stands on a line drawing of scaffolding, holding out a white spoon with a red cherry to a kneeling young person with tan skin, brown hair, and a pink dress. A hare with a noose around its neck sits between them. Red block letters with the word “LOVE” stand in the background, beside a snarling coyote holding a blue rooster in its mouth.
