Five Of Cups
Visual description
Visual description: A small white kittycorn wearing a blue cloak stands with its back turned, head slightly bowed, gazing toward a pale moon in a soft twilight sky. Three golden cups lie tipped and spilled on the sandy ground before it while two cups remain upright nearby. The kittycorn has a rainbow horn and tail that contrast with the pastel dunes and a calm river in the midground, with a tiny cluster of buildings on the far shore. A delicate white decorative border frames the image and the title 'Five of Cups' appears at the bottom.
