Vargo's cards were based on earlier works, you can see some of them on his website. This card is called Sentinels.
Two gargoyles appear on this card. The one at the left seems to be growling, with his open mouth and wings, and his feet are carefully standing on the edge, and yet, he's not really flying, he keeps his position. The gargoyle at the right is standing straight, his hands on the edge, and he looks ahead of him, determined (and a bit surprised?). On the extreme left of the card stands a tall pillar with eight pentacles engraved on it.
If these gargoyles are sentinels, it's obvious it requires a constant vigilance and patience from them to do their work. They must be focused at all times and never look away.
At the same time, I wonder whether these gargoyles are children or not. Maybe they are at their stage when they have to learn how to fly. It is something very new to them, and only with lots of practice, will they be able to fly on their own. The one at the left seems to have more vigor than the other, he's fiery, strong, and he's already trying his wings, training. The only thing he needs is the little push over the edge. The other gargoyle looks stumped, maybe he's trying not to see the emptyness down below, so he looks up and tries to concentrate on what is ahead of him.
