#10 Cross of Cards

I wanted to work with playing cards but was challenged with how to deal with the bright white background and the powerful images.  The red tissue paper obscured the imagery just enough and I became intrigued with exploring working with red and black as it related to the cards.  There is quite a bit of mystery and subtle sophistication here.  Each quadrant around the cross is a world of its own.  The sphere in the center is the perfect shade of green for keeping everything in place.
