English term or phrase: scroll
I have a list of products with Christmas decorations. The term "scroll" appears in a number of instances, for example:

GOLD METAL SCROLL LIGHTS
SCROLL CUTOUT BAUBLE
6PK MATT & SHINY SCROLL GLITTER BAUBLE

I also found a link on ebay with a picture:

Can anyone help me what scroll may mean here?

Thank you for your help in advance.

disagree  Tony M: Even though one meaning of 'scroll' can be 'a roll of paper', I hardly see how that meaning could fit here in Asker's context of lights and baubles.
