This artworks is one of three I made for Eid al-Adha cards of a Khaliji concept store.
(Khaleejirefers to the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, especially those associated with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. Eid al-Adha is the last of the two Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide each year.)
The traditional Eid cards in GCC countries have banknotes attached to them and they’re used as gifts for children on the fest days. In these designs, the banknotes are placed over the floating hearts.

A tiny peninsula off the Arabian peninsula, nestled between the Gulf of Bahrain and the Arabian Gulf, the State of Qatar has been known for its pearls and textiles since antiquity, and after a tug-of-war between Bahrain and Saudi, submitted to Ottoman rule in 1871, although even at that time it had negotiated a protectorate with the British Empire, which was enforced in the mid-1910s. Qatar gained independence in 1971, and is still under the sovereignty of the emirs of the house of Al Thani (who have ruled Qatar since 1868).
