Composition

  • left: candy cluster
  • right: two green stacked vertically
  • rightmost section: plain gray rectangle

Dense Caption

Left side shows a dense cluster of pixelated M&M's candies in red, brown, yellow, blue, orange, and green. Right side has two solid green rectangular panels with black pixelated text: top panel reads "m&m's are like friends...", bottom panel reads "they come in all different colors". The rightmost section is a plain gray rectangle. Text uses lowercase letters except for the 'M' in "m&m's" which appears uppercase due to pixel rendering. All elements have blocky, low-resolution digital art style typical of early 2000s web graphics.
