Calavera Playing Cards

Eyecatching Calavera death-skull themed playing cards designed by Jirs Huygen from Antwerp for Cartamundi as part of a new range aimed at the teenage and young adult market, 2015. The white, turquoise and orange colour scheme with bold black skull motifs, and suit symbols as multi-faceted jewels, produce a striking play on the Mexican festive theme of death and the cycle of life.
