Valentine Greetings
Description
Against a tan/gold background framed by intricate white lace-paper borders sits a charming Art Deco Valentine featuring a sweet young girl with dark curled hair, rosy cheeks, and a delicate white collar. She wears a blue polka-dotted dress and holds a bright red heart close to her chest, all composed within a heart-shaped border decorated with colorful berries and flowers in blue, red, yellow, and green tones. Ornamental bluebirds perch in the corners, and a yellow text banner below reads 'Valentine Greetings,' completing this nostalgic representation of early twentieth-century romantic sentiment.
