This is the page with the option for higher-definition graphics on the spread, where you can compose your own layout, reposition and resize the images, according to the questions below, but not specifiy the cards to be shown (eg. Ace of Cups, The Magician etc.). If you want to specify the cards, use this page. If you aren't familiar with this facility, please - first - read the instructions, then experiment a bit with layouts, overlaying, resizing etc. before composing your final layout - you can return to this page by clicking on the "This reading provided by..." link at the very top of the final page.

If you're using a dialup connection and asking for an extensive spread, the download times may be frustratingly slow, but you'll get far better definition on resizing the spread-graphics than on the lower definition page which loads faster.

On this "Drag 'n Drop" page, the cards are either picked by you from a deck (without you knowing what the cards are), or left to chance. If you want to specify which cards are to be displayed in a spread, use the "Compose Your Own Spread" page.
