Victorian Valentine's Day Cherubs Racing Car with Heart Flowers
Text on Card
To my Valentine
Description
Sporting tiny wings and minimal clothing — one cherub in a little blue outfit, the other in orange shorts — these two winged figures have commandeered an early automobile and loaded the back seat with an alarming quantity of hearts, clover, and forget-me-nots. The redheaded cherub grips the steering wheel with the focused intensity of someone who absolutely does not have a license, while his brown-haired companion with curly locks perches on the hood next to a decorative basket of flowers, either supervising or fleeing. The car itself sports a jaunty red heart on the side panel.
