Card Back-I am speechless

I woke up this morning to an email from Mel Meleen.
She's finished the card back for Button Soup Tarot. It is perfect. I am posting the photo she sent me of the original work and her description of it.
I don't know how we got so lucky.
From Mel:
I did a card back for Button Soup incorporating the name into the design. The button in the center doubles as the cauldron lid.
A multitude of hands offer the suit symbols - homage to Pamela Coleman Smith - but with human colored hands instead of hands the godly white of Kether. Kind of in keeping with the idea that this is a collaborative tarot work that many hands contributed to. And I even incorporated a take on the CoT logo on the soup pot (the moon, sun and person).
She's also offered to allow us to use the original as a Kickstarter reward.
I just can can't get over it.
I am officially blown away by this project and all the people contributing.

I don't know if I'm allowed to curse here....
But just know I am .... A lot. But in a good like awe and wonder way. Like a WTFHOLYWHATTHE etc . Ok imma leave it there before I get in trouble but I am just....lord. I weep. Wow. Ok.
I haven't watched many episodes of this JoJo's bizarre adventure show but just find literally any gif online and it'll be accurate to what I'm feeling.

Here is the card back from Mel Meleen.
I've fitted the image she sent me into the card format and coloured the white background. (The white edge will not appear- There is a bleed layer that is not shown that will cover the white)

I can’t imagine a better back for this project! I love it! And so looking forward to our quirky Kickstarter campaign! It was Bellwen’s Instagram feed about her Queen of Cups that got me into this project! So pleased I did
