Carnaval de Muertos (Alheli)2017

The main theme of the decks is Day of the Dead, or Día de Muertos - a holiday celebrated in central and southern Mexico. Believing the dead would be insulted by mourning or sadness, Día de Muertos celebrates the lives of the deceased with food, drink and parties. The deceased are often honored with sugar skulls, marigolds and their favorite foods. Celebrations often take the form of street parties and parades, characterized by vibrant colors and festivities. The most familiar symbols are skeletons and skulls, which are often portrayed in fancy clothes. Both decks, named after the flowers have its own colors and symbolism. Marigold edition deck is themed in yellow, while Alheli - white/green. These cards were created from scratch, and inspired by Fuego Playing Cards and Steve Simpson's artwork.
