Text on Card

Don't be scared It's only me And I like you Can't you see

Description

A young girl nestled within a red heart-shaped design clutches letters and envelopes in this charming Edwardian-era Valentine's greeting card. She wears a blue outfit and a large yellow/gold wide-brimmed hat, with one envelope labeled 'Valentine,' while a small running figure appears in the background inside the heart. Delicate filigree patterns and smaller heart motifs frame the design along the decorative border. The reassuring message—'Don't be scared It's only me And I like you Can't you see'—combines playful humor with romantic sentiment, perfectly capturing the lighthearted spirit of early twentieth-century Valentine exchanges.
