    Busy but pretty... combination of patterned papers and color are always fun choices. Love the adorable Cupid. Thanks for sharing your Valentine card with us at Double Trouble. You were pretty close to the color dare.

      Thanks! I wanted the Queen of Hearts to look a bit like she was hiding in a secret garden, so yes, it's a mixed media collage with lots of layers, colors, and prints! And Cupid's card is a bit print-rich too but that's what I like. :)
