Lovers
More Tarot!
Initially, I had another layout for this card, but the more I researched it, I wanted to rearrange a bit.
The whole gist of the card is leaving the metaphorical garden of Eden and being unable to return. I liked the apple imagery, symbolizing knowledge, and I wanted to show the garden and gate fading off into the distance. It takes temptation to lure us out from the comforts and securities of our own gardens, be it for love of a person, or desire to explore elsewhere.

And here we are, another tarot card. I've started on the Lovers, but I'm not thrilled with that card, so I think I'll redo it. So for now, enjoy this guy!
I do have to keep in mind that I'll lose about 1/4" all the way around these cards, so while it may look like a large margin, I will be losing some of the image.
