Victorian Love's Greeting Die-Cut Card with Jester Figure

A small child in a billowy pale green clown suit covered in gold hearts, topped with a towering conical hat, marches forward with the determined energy of someone who will not be taking 'no' for an answer. Nothing says 'be mine' like this commitment to the bit. The large red heart embroidered on the rear of the costume raises questions Victorian society clearly wasn't ready to answer, while the red bow clutched in one hand reads less 'romantic gift' and more 'I have prepared a presentation.' Those tiny red heeled shoes peeking out from beneath the voluminous hem complete the look: equal parts harlequin nightmare and aggressive cupid, delivering Love's Greeting whether you want it or not.
