A well-done first effort! I do notice a few things: 1) The cards are missing titles. Are you missing the Enviro font? 2) The gold color seems to be a little muted (b29b07 or 178 155 7 in RGB) instead of the color gold (metalic) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_(color)#Gold_.28metallic_gold.29 (d4af37, or 212 175 55 in RGB). But of course, it may not be your intention to mimic the metal. 3) Can you make them a bit larger too? The text is almost impossible to read when it is blown up. Nice job!

I was so excited about being able to finally get them to upload I forgot to put the names on them.
Yes I have the Enviro Font. That is the type text used in the box
As far as the size of the font, I will toy with the siz and see if I can make it bigger. There is a lot of text there
As far as the color I was not sure how to get the metallic appearance.
I will make the changes you suggested and then see how they look.

I meant to make the whole card bigger--not just the text. The text is well-proportioned to the card. But if you blow it up (say, 400%), you can see that the letters are not fully formed, partially because the JPEG compression adds noise around the lines (it is the nature of JPEG). Also, when one tries to print, the printer driver will interpolate the image pixels to printer pixels, but it can't create information out of thin air.
I find 375 x 525 (W x H) pixels works well for posting card images. Your cards were 236 x 331 (about 60% of each linear dimension, but only about 36% of the pixels).

Pretty sweet! ^^
If I had to really make these, I'd make them with real gold, haha.

Very nice work!
My only other thought was that the deck name is "Good As Gold", so perhaps the bunnies should be named "Gold Congenial" (etc.) rather than "Golden Congenial".
But, really, that's nitpickin'.
Keep up the good work! I look forward to your next cards!

These are great FIF! Love your artwork! Are you going to complete this deck?
"Go to Jail" is my favorite of this bunch! The artwork is a great homage to the game and the rule makes total sense for KB.
A couple of observations:
I noticed that your titles are mixed case. Was that a stylistic choice, or are you having trouble making the text fit? (Does Illustrator have a way to squeeze text in one direction? That's what I did for "Jay & Silent Bunny Strike Back", which is squeezed like in the official KB card "Bunny Eye for the Carrot Guy").
The Yahtzee! die boxes are all blank. Idea for the Yahtzee card would be five top dice (like in the board game). The artwork on this card is great! Who was the model for the French manicure?

Pretty much the answer to all of these is: they are just rough drafts, I post them up here and get criticism and then make a final... Usually they're all just oversights because i work fast and sloppy... I've got another one too... I pretty much copied ommy's but added the drowning white pawn...
