Visual Description
A pale pink card displays seven ornate cups arranged in a symmetrical vertical pattern. Each cup is drawn in thin gold linework with small star-like sparkles and circular connecting motifs; dotted lines and tiny dots trace between them. The words "SEVEN" appear centered at the top and "OF CUPS" at the bottom in uppercase serif type. A delicate double-line border frames the composition and there are no human figures or landscape elements, only the stylized vessels.
