February- Ume

This is the 1st card set in my hanafuda deck I'm creating.
I'm a huge fan of the Koi-Koi variant of card playing with these cards, and I wanted to improve my Adobe Illustrator technique while creating something fun. So I was inspired to create these. I've made January through august so far. I wanted my cards to create a full continuous picture in each set.
(textures were added in photoshop)

Hanafuda ( Flower Cards) features 12 sets of 4 cards, each set representing a month and featuring a flower/plant.
This card set represents the month of February and features a bush warbler, as well as Plum Blossoms.
