Visual Description
A brightly dressed jester or clown dances on a grassy field, legs bent as if in mid-step, wearing a polka-dot conical hat and a striped, colorful outfit. In each hand they hold a round pentacle marked with a five-pointed star, connected by a looping black ribbon that forms an infinity sign between them. Behind the figure are stylized blue waves with two small boats riding them, a rainbow arching upward, and two dark clouds with simple faces near the top of the frame. The image is framed by a bold black border and the caption 'Two of PENTACLES' appears at the bottom in hand-drawn letters; small flowers and dots scatter across the green foreground.
