Meaning

Hi friends,

The structure and the meaning of "Sheets with a border of birthday-party bluebirds tying pink ribbon bows." in the following text made me confuse, Is it possible explain it for me?

“Or will they stumble upstairs, reeling with lust, and fall entwined onto the bed, so thoughtfully and neatly made up with newly ironed sheets by Charmaine before she left? Sheets with a border of birthday-party bluebirds tying pink ribbon bows. Nursery sheets, kiddie sheets: Charmaine’s idea of cuteness. Though, like everything else in the place, they came with the house.”

Thanks alot

It's not a complete sentence, but a phrase. The sheets previously mentioned have a border, or edging. The border has pictures of blue-birds, of the kind that might appear on birth-day decorations.
