Big Pics, Little Words makes Tally all pictures: large flat illustrations drawn in code, a few words per section, warm paper colors and tomato and mustard accents. The dashboard leads with a dark card and a huge "$640 left to budget", and each envelope is a jar that fills up. It is a real idea, though the paper and dark-green palette are close to the default. The skill is meant to be called by hand, and in our runs it was loaded by reading its file. Pick it when you want visuals to carry the message.
