Several aces were designed by a Ukrainian artist, Bohdan. These remind more posters, but they can be easily used as big ornate pips for aces. At the same time, it’s necessary to admit some strange combination of design elements: stardust, all pips (small) on each ace, floral embellishments, strips; money and gambling symbols on the Ace of Spades. Some casino can use these for its deck dedicated to New Year’s Eve celebrations.
