• Hearts: Sleeping Beauty
• Diamonds: Little Red Riding Hood
• Spades: Hansel and Gretel
• Clubs: Snow White

The court cards showcase figures dressed in traditional attire, enhanced by ancient patterns that symbolize harmony and beauty. The pips and jokers are designed to maintain a cohesive and enchanting atmosphere, with the forest acting as the central motif that ties all the stories together. 

The entire deck is infused with a magical aura, reminiscent of the fairy tales themselves. The card backs feature a dense weave of branches and natural elements, while the suits are depicted with unique, story-inspired artwork. The color palette is dominated by pastel shades that evoke an enchanted and whimsical atmosphere, staying true to the essence of the tales.
