Visual Description
A black-and-white orca breaches from a calm blue sea, sending a spray of water into the air. Snow-capped mountains rise behind the bay beneath a pale, star-sprinkled sky. An ornate golden chalice floats above the scene in the upper center of the card. A thin white border frames the image and the title 'King of Cups' appears at the bottom.
