+# tarotcard.css
+
+`tarotcard.css` is a CSS library for creating 3D Tarot cards on webpages.
+It was created for use on my business website, [https://themagician.cc].
+
+## Installation
+`tarotcard.css` is published on [npm](https://npmjs.com), use `npm install tarotcard.css` to install it.
+
+## Usage
+This library contains three files:
+- tarotcard.css: Contains CSS classes for the basic definition of the "card" structure.
+- tarorcard-deal.css: Contains an animation used to "slide" a card on-screen, as if being dealt onto a table.
+- tarotcard-flip.css: Contains some support classes and animations to support two-sided cards which can flip over.
+
+See the sample webpage in the `test/` directory for more detailed usage examples.
+You can run `make serve` to spin up a local server on port 8000 which serves this page (requires Python 3).
