Spider-Man, Spider-Man

Twins Benji and Daniel turned 6 in May 2022. The previous year they had received musical instruments as gifts from their grandparents for their birthday, so I showed Benji playing the accordion and Daniel the guitar on their birthday cards. In 2022 mum told me that the boys were into the Marvel superhero Spider-Man. She asked me to make two different cards for her boys but on the same theme.
For Daniel's card, I showed him standing in front of a red spiders web background. Spider-Man's squinty white eyes can be seen next to him. I added the black Spider-Man logo, a spider symbol that relates the character to the spider's extraordinary skills and abilities. The spider is a traditional symbol of protection, power, agility, mystery, creativity and wisdom. A black number 6 marks Daniel's age.
Benji's card shows him standing behind the skyscrapers of the New York City skyline, which provide the backdrop for Spider-Man's daring stunts. Benji is wearing a red Spider-Man T-shirt. Spider-Man's mask is behind him. I added the black spider symbol once again and a number 6 to mark Benji's age.
Mum told me that both boys loved their cards.

    Aww! What a perfect card for those boys. I love how they are both Spiderman cards but are so different. Great work! x

    These are great! My boys all went through a superhero phase too. I love that even though the boys like the same superhero you managed to make each card quite different.

    I don't like spiders but you managed to cut these out beautifully. My son is a big Spiderman fan and I've made cakes for him in the past. You've made two fantastic cards, I love how they are so different.

    Two great cards on the same theme. Very impressive paper cutting and it's no wonder that the boys loved them. xx

    Wouldn't it be great to have twins? Making two cards for them with a shared theme was a great idea.

    Those are so much fun Lisa, I can just see the joy on each of their faces. It's lovely to make the cards equally perfect but also different from each other. Friends have told me that people tend to treat their twins as one person on birthdays rather than separate individuals who share the day!
