We were required to have one complete packet that could actually hold seeds. So for this one I had to make a back also. I wanted to incorporate the Emerald city in my design and thought this was a perfect place to do so. The idea of the seed is to grow a desire (the three that the characters want in the film) without having to go visit the wizard. It is a product that the Wizard produced almost as if he didn't want to be bothered. The very bottom of the back I added a quote from L. Frank Baum's book the Wonderful Wizard of Oz (the book that the movie was based off of) as a disclaimer saying "the true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have plenty." I feel that this just sums up the seeds perfectly as a product of the Wizard. Just like in the book/movie the characters never really needed the Wizard at all to find the qualities they desired, it was in them all along. The Wizard is just a big show.
