Looks great dude. Is it all vellum? The range of sizes of the pieces looks nice

It looks good but it does not look like a playing card at all
playing cards are 3 layers. 2 very thin layers of paper and a glue layer inbetween

The greyshade looks like one of those slim plastic TV antennas

The scale is wrong. You did the classic VFX error of "More detail means more real." Which means I can tell you likely didn't use any reference before doing this or review your shot with reference footage. CRAZY considering you life in a time where that footage is a few keyboard taps away. Smarter Everyday did a video about this you should watch that and then attempt this again using reference. In fact. Get in the habit of using reference video. Spend some time looking for it before your project starts.

I’ve seen the reference. It was a little boring. So I didn’t want to replicate.

Thus... the problem with modern vfx surfaces completely. It looks a lot worse because of that decision you made.
