Although I have commented on Reddit, this forum is my preferred forum so I will reply here.
Questioning the relevance of the eyes to the lavender deck - I can't agree with the answer that they make the design look good

Re: Opinions on my playing card design
Pretty and elegant, I like it overall. Here are some impressions: 1) The black is too hard to see against the dark purple. I like the purple, so I'd change the black 2) The lavender itself is too detailed and looks clipart-y against the rest of the CAD linework 3) the star in the middle feels a little empty of detail 4) the hashed white lines on the sides don't do much for me and feel like they were thrown in to deal with negative space 5) agree the eye is kinda random. Hope that helps!

Re: Opinions on my playing card design
All excellent points wp. I think it would be misleading and of no help to the OP to say anything other than that the back needs a lot of work - then we will need to see some custom courts

Re: Opinions on my playing card design
I agree we need to see more what the theme of the deck is.
Im not a huge fan of the back design and I agree now that its pointed out that the eye is just weird.

Re: Opinions on my playing card design
I'm not a designer per se, but I'd try changing the black (indigo?) lines to the same lavender/light purple you use on the eight floral icons.
