Vintage Valentine's Day Card: Cute Girl with Heart Cornucopia

Meet this curly-haired blonde child — hearts literally pinned into her hair, pearls around her neck, mid-stride across a field of daisies — and you'll immediately sense the unhinged energy of someone who has been rejected one too many times and is now physically running at you with a basket of red hearts and what appears to be a large red tulip. The card's text, 'Please don't throw my heart away,' paired with the fact that she is actively holding a large red heart aloft like she's about to hurl it, suggests a deeply conflicted individual. Her wide-eyed grin, rosy cheeks, and white dress read as 'innocent child,' but the manic stride and the sheer quantity of heart-themed accessories — hair, basket, hand — read as 'Valentine's Day's Most Wanted.' The proportions (massive curly head, tiny black Mary Janes) complete the portrait of a creature who operates outside the normal laws of anatomy and emotional regulation.
