Saw this as a profile pick on my friend's facebook page.

On the top it looks like:

券春

(with another character wrapping around the rest that has 示字旁)

On the bottom I see:

五福?門

To the left of that is a name, maybe..?

砳朶?

What is the top character wrapping around the rest?

What does this all mean?

福寿喜春

五福临门

The 福 surrounding other characters almost lost its original shape, but recognizable because it's such a commonly seen character on holiday posters. Basically you can write it as a very big '3' with a 'x' inside its lower circle, and people know what you're writing.

Ah. Couldn't get the 臨 at all, as I was sure that the right-hand-side was 畐, so I couldn't see anything else....

How about the words in the outline of Taiwan?

Y'know it's funny. Right after I posted it, I realized what the 五福臨門 part was. But, I have never seen that variant of 臨 before.

As far as the giant 福 goes, thank you for your help! I would never have understood that without some explanation.

That still leaves the little white Taiwan-shaped stuff, but that's pretty hard to read as-is.
