To my Valentine
Description
Against the softly stylized green waves, a rosy-cheeked boy in a pale cream-colored garment rows forward with determined focus through a bright red canoe-style boat. A fish is visible in the waves below as the child leans intensely over his yellow oar, navigating his vessel with white-knuckle grip. This charming die-cut card reads 'To my Valentine.'
