A colored-in sketch put on a Web page can really help.

Just to be sure, for a "square outline", she means a square with a
square hole in it, right?  And the sides are horizontal and vertical,
not tilted onto an edge, and are equal in length?  If so, it's a "delf
voided".

What color is the square outline and what color is the pawprint?
Pawprints are not known from period heraldry but are registerable in
the SCA, though they are a Step From Period Practice (
http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/sena.html#AppendixG ).

Is the pawprint the largest thing and the square outline a frame for
it?
