Sparkle #116: Illustrated Playing Cards

Illustrated playing cards are so much fun to look at, they almost always end up distracting me from the game!

I have always been obsessed with good art and design, and illustrations are a personal favorite. Illustration art accompanies some form of text and is used to provide a visual aid to whatever you are reading. Collecting illustrated artwork from older books and magazines is an interesting hobby, and has been gaining popularity in recent times.
