  • Patent number: 5001853
    Abstract: An ornament for attachment to the outside of a gift package that has at least one substantially flat surface includes a single sheet member formed with a substantially flat back portion which is adapted to fit against the surface of the gift package, and a plurality of spaced separate areas which are bulged outwardly away from the back portion to provide corresponding frontal protrusions. The frontal protrusions have differing shapes and appearances, and may also have colors added to their front surfaces so as to present artistic objects having a realistic appearance. In a preferred form of the invention the ornamental features portrayed by the front surfaces of the protrusions include at least one hand having a slit that is parallel to the back portion of the sheet member, and which is adapted to hold a gift card.
