Designing a playing card can be a fun process.
In an effort to capture a Queen's absolute dominion,
Ι turned to the best place for inspiration... nature!
Yeap! Bees have a Queen, but so does our social life.
The so-called Queen Bee can be found everywhere.
She is a pretty, rich, popular, arrogant, selfish, spoiled, manipulative school diva.

Over the years, Queen Bee has become a pop culture phenomenon.
Countless songs, books, films, tv series and internet references about
them, pop up in our lives more often than needed.
Rachel McAdams in Mean Girls (2004)
Enough with the words!
Βelow, I pressent the symbols of each Queen Bee
and how I combine them, to create the final illustration for the
playing card of the Queen of Diamonds.

And remember!
Next time you run into a Queen Bee
Next time you run into a Queen Bee
just spit the question out loud!
Winona Ryder in Heathers (1988)
