This card is for Orion, who is fighting cancer at the moment.
Orion is a fan of baseball and MMA, and though the theme of today's teapot is Baseball, MMA is about heart, determination and grit. Orion is going through a tough fight, and some encouraging grit is always appreciated, even if not necessary.
The image is an original for Orion. It is created with Midjourney. sentiment and stars added with Canva. I diecut the image out.
I also make stickers which I randomly give to people. I included some good 'guy' stickers in the card for him. You can see them in the photo.
Good luck Orion! I hope you like the card.

What an awesome card for Orion! I'm glad you picked up on his MMA interest so he doesn't get all baseball cards. That is a powerful image with a great message. I'm sure he'll like getting the stickers, too.

Great card! That central image is so powerful -- you really captured an expression of fierce determination. And those stickers are awesome (I especially like Calvin and Hobbes being zombies).
