Playing cards needlepoint patterns

A hand of four or five playing cards, overlapping.

Two designs fan them in an arc from one point at the bottom; two set them side by side, one of each suit. It is drawn in several styles, all on a four-inch square for 18 mesh. The pips are small exact shapes, so count each one, and keep the edges of the cards straight where they overlap. Most are marked beginner; the page gives the thread list.
