PLAYING CARDS IDEAS.

Note how a center oval can be blended with an outer frame - both elements would occupy the center of the card.

Note fern design - can be linked together to form a border.

Note how oval shape can be blended with an outer border - in the example the effect is slightly masonic.

Note how a white border can stand out on a dark background - a string of pearls can make a good border.

Possible corner design element to be mirrored on the other corner.

A nice old background element that could be used in some sections, adapted perhaps for Sherlock Holmes - such as small silhouettes in the middle of each square.

An example of text on banners: "The Sherlock Holmes Museum London" or "221b Baker Street."

Note the middle rectangular border - the silhouette could sit in a similar frame, with or without the flowery pattern. Note the arrow design near the edge of the ceiling (top left of image). Note the rectangular side panels separated by a circle - text could be placed in these panels.

Note the fans in the corners - same thing could be done for the playing card. Note the black center circle design - it could be stretched to an oval border for a silhouette.
