Light up La Llama

Curious match box from Peru. This is a package design that's been around for a while. I still remember using these matches when lighting on the stove at home in the 70s. Seems that the match company has no intentions of giving this curious match box a face lift at all. I never paid attention to it but in my last trip to Peru I looked at it and said, wow, they still make these? It brought memories so I brought a sample with me. Ask any Peruvian about La Llama. There are no better matches than La Llama! What are the red stripes in the background? Clouds?

Is the red the flame from the matches?
