Our racially mixed couple continues to parade through the sixes ...
Cups - LWB: " Fond memories. A gift given in friendship or love." - A nice image, but I still want to know why there isn't a suit image somewhere in the card - two glasses of mimosas to celebrate the occasion, perhaps? (Yes, I see them in the border on the blanket, but it seems too subtle since they can be seen as a Greek Keye design.) Of course, this image is the happier aspect of the card; in the RWS image the little boy is going to walk over the bridge/doorway/gate into adolescence and leave the companion behind, supporting the RWS concept of nostalgia with a tinge of sorrow. Better to celebrate the day! Sixes indicate adjustments in thoughts, attitudes, or conditions. They also represent the ability to transcend difficulties. It could be an 'I'm sorry I acted like a complete jerk yesterday' gift as much as a birthday present.
Wands - A Gay Pride parade. LWB: "The courage of one's convictions. Admiration, acclaim, pride. Appreciation for those who stand up to themselves." I suppose without the horse (RWS) that the card would look too much like XX-Beyond Judgement, but why is everyone standing behind the horseman facing in the opposite direction? Is the horseman IN the parade or attending the parade? Having two figures as the main image opens up a few possibilties - are you the admirer or the admired?

Everyone in the card, including the horseman, is facing to the right, except for the man in the foreground who looks back at the horseman. What am I missing?
