Visual Description
A soft, watercolor-like image in pale greens and blues shows two robed figures facing each other inside a circular, portal-like frame. One figure offers a cup or small bowl filled with pale flowers or light to the other while four more cups are arranged along the foreground, making six in total. The scene is blurred at the edges with concentric bands of color radiating outward, giving a mirrored, dreamlike quality. At the bottom of the card the printed title 'SIX OF CUPS' is visible.
