Playing cards designed by the American designer Kuan-Lin Chen. Yes, such a simple and even childish design :). But it is vivid and pleasant ;). The background needs improvement. This can be a variation of circus playing cards. © 2013 Kuan-Lin Chen

This playful, colourful and rather wonderful series of cards designed by Dan Adams are shaped like playing cards and they feature a bunch of rather funny and talented characters: there is an elephant, a seal, a dog, a monkey and a lion. And there is also something more sweet and lovable in the winning ace of hearts!
The full series of designs is now available at twenty21 (these are only greeting cards!)
