Yay! The card looks great. From what you can see of it at least.

Hmm. Is there any way you can retake these with more light? If that 
camera is a digital compact camera like mine, with a small lens, then 
you need lots and lots of light to avoid either the shutter time 
becoming long (noisy or blurry photograph unless you have a tripod) or 
the aperture becoming large (blurry photograph due to small depth of 
field).

Using a flash might work, but make sure you're not photographing the 
card head-on, such as in IMG_0931.JPG, to avoid the reflection of the 
flash.

The easiest way to do it is probably to lay the card on a desk with a 
desk lamp right over it. Make sure the bulb is above and slightly in 
front of the card from the point of view of the camera, so that you're 
photographing components and not their shadows.

Junk in the background can be edited out easily, but once it's blurry 
there's very little you can do about it. As it is, the only one I would 
even start to work with is IMG_0938.JPG, and you're not going to get 
much out of it.
