Full-page border with tiny vintage laurel leaves and hand-drawn box

It’s made from a thin straight line around the page and, inside it, repeating pairs of leaves, probably laurel leaves, with a small circle at the top middle. I coloured the outer straight border brown and made the outlines of [...] [more...] [$]
