Victorian Valentine Greeting Card with Cupid and Floral Heart

A classical scene of cherubic romance unfolds across the card—Cupid in a jaunty sash, tiny golden bow drawn, flanked by doves and an oversized floral heart. But zoom in on that cherub's expression and you'll find the smug, self-satisfied grin of someone who absolutely knows what he's doing and has zero regrets. His butterfly wings and curly auburn hair say 'adorable,' but that smile says 'I've been doing this since the Roman Empire and I find your suffering delightful.' Meanwhile, that aggressively dense heart constructed entirely of pink blooms and ringed in blue forget-me-nots looms like a floral funeral wreath that took a wrong turn at a garden party, attended by no fewer than three white doves who have clearly been briefed on their roles in this production. The whole scene radiates the energy of a Victorian florist who was told to 'make it romantic' and responded by making it *threatening*.
