The wings have red feathers at the top. Rebecca dressed as wizard with a long grey beard, pointy hat, colorful robe, brown cloak, and tall staff topped with a blue orb.

The garden has small green shrubs and a bush covered in white flowers. There is also a small needle felted jack o lantern in the garden. There is a purple curtain in the background.
