Description: A group of wooden sticks, of different diameters and heights, is clustered in a row. The sticks each have a pair of plastic eyes-blue, pink, or red-at the top. A few have a bird's nest on top like a hat, while other scattered faces are made of nuts or pine cones. A mossy bottom border, wooden background adorned with green leaves, and the words "Family Trees" in light blue, complete the scene.
