Description
In the old children's game called 'Rock, Paper, Scissors', two people shake their hands at each other in fist formation and on the count of 'scissors', they decide which hand signal to display. Two fingers out means 'scissors'. A full hand out means 'paper'. A full fist means 'rock'. Usually, rock beats scissors because you can sharpen scissors with a rock. However, when the scissors are turned right-side up, they look like a peace sign--- and in this case peace always beats the fist of violence.
Ideal message art for a guidance office, shelter, family counselor, or social service office.

What a powerful image and matching message, Nina. So much needed by the world today. f/l/tw

A cool and devious image, Nina. Since we are being creative with rules, paper should win since it can thoughtfully gift wrap the peace sign. :)

Thanks for your comment, Steve. I wish we COULD wrap up peace and give it to everyone.
