Additional Information

“Cinco de Septiembre” meaning  means “September Fifth” in Spanish and, given the curl text, the date seen here likely probably refers to someone named Simone’s first birthday. The date is accompanied by a fleur-de-lis. "Fleur-de-lis", meaning "flower of the lily" in French, is a common decorative design that originated in late-medieval France.
