For Seven Deadly Sins Challenge Level 2

Boy, this was a difficult one! I love red/green complements, but it's always tricky to make them work together without it screaming MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I felt that envy/jealousy and lust work well together (or perhaps that should be work destructively together...) When deprived of what you lust for, jealousy for whoever has what you want quickly moves in. So, this poster is more to discourage these vices rather than advocate them.

Also, there was originally a black widow spider in the top right corner, but I felt that it was too much. You're welcome, arachnophobes!

(If it's too difficult to read, the quote for lust reads "Lust is a captivity of the reason & an enraging of the passion")
