Description
Four of Hearts playing card from a pack of transformation playing cards. A scene of children playing in front of a domestic building. A boy at left in a cap flies a kite--his bottom and the kite take the form of red hearts. At right, a girl holding a racquet plays badminton; a red heart forms the skirt of her dress. At upper left, a female figure in a window surveys the children, a red heart forming the shape of her chest.
