I agree. I got that connection between some of the pictures straight away, but I didn't recognise the picture of the man, about three days went by before I decided to try that as the answer and ... hey presto!

I need another opinion I may have made a discovery on #071 Discovery...
I'm thinking this may just be a defect in my card, but does anyone else have a little (UV sensitive maybe?) thing-a-ma-bobber in the lower left corner? It's about 5mm long and I can't make out what it is supposed to be--so that makes me think it's just a defect. But I need someone else to confirm anything before I get too excited about it

Hi LP-A!
I don't know about 5mm, but maybe you're talking about this ?

No, I'd be asking for major troutage then
I don't have a UV light to try on it, but just looking at the card in sufficient light and at different angles, you can see the glossiness stand out. It looks exactly like the ink used for such things as the fingerprint on #160 or the hidden text on #146 "you are cordially invited." The only problem is I can't figure out what it should resemble at all if it is meant to be something. From the bottom, it kinda looks like a scorpion, but then on its side, it looks more like a monkey.
I'm mostly positive this is just a flaw in my card, but it would be terrible to not confirm it. I'll whip up some simple drawing to give an idea of what I'm seeing.

I hope it isn't a problem to do such a close up picture of the cards when they're hand drawn

I don't see anything of the sort on my card, though I don't have any UV lamps, I just tilted it into the light. I'd reckon that's just an oddity on your card, like you said.
