1. An image card having an image formed on a card base by engraving, wherein the image is formed by engraving striped grooves having different angles according to the degree of shading of the image by the engraving.
2. The image card according to claim 1, wherein the shading of the image is expressed by binary and the image is formed by expressing the shading of the binary with striped grooves orthogonal to each other.
3. The image card according to claim 1, wherein the card base has a structure including at least two layers in which one is a transparent layer and the other is an opaque layer, the engraving is performed from the side of the opaque layer, and the striped grooves reach the transparent layer by scraping off the opaque layer.
4. The image card according to claim 1, wherein a watermark-engraved image is formed by changing the thickness of a layer remaining after the engraving according to the degree of shading of the image, and the image formed by the striped grooves and the watermark-engraved image are formed on the same plane.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.

8. The composition as claimed in claim 1, which composition is a clearcoat composition.
9. The composition as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an IR reflective pigment.
10. A method of using the composition as claimed in claim 1, comprising applying the composition to a painted substrate, a coated substrate, a roofing shingle or a roofing substrate, and letting it dry.
