Description
This card depicts two winged cupids at the center with flowers and curved framing surrounding. Above their heads, text in brown: To My / Valentine. One cupid stands on a flower-covered ladder delivering a white envelope with a red heart, as the other cupid looks on, holding the ladder. Flanking them are two die-cut paper vases holding two-dimensional flowers drawn directly onto the card.
