This card contains the images of a large butterfly and a small white rose.
The butterfly
The Butterfly Effect refers to the enormous impact that a very small change or disturbance can have in the course of events.
Wings
"To wing it" is to figure out how to do something as one does it.
The white flower/rose
By itself, the image speaks of someone who may need to take time out to smell the roses. It could also represent someone who merrily goes along on their way without paying attention to their surroundings, someone who is single-minded of purpose. The image also speaks of cycles, especially the cycle of nature.
