2000Pips Transformation Playing Cards

by

Peter Wood

Pete Wood's playing cards will probably change the way you think about playing card designs. Following the success of his Teddy Bear Transformation pack, Pete has produced another remarkable pack featuring 52 fully transformed playing cards in full colour plus 2 jokers.

Pete reveals an original and eclectic approach to playing card design, but coupled with a sound understanding of the functionality and traditions in playing cards. We see his love of the natural world, particularly the insects, flowers, fruits and garden animals, plus an endless source of imaginative arrangements, patterns and animated illustrations on every card. Highy recommended.
