About

This valentine takes only minutes to complete, but is very effective in spite of its simplicity. It can be used as a note card or pasted into a scrapbook.

One sheet of colored printing paper can be cut into two 51⁄2” squares to provide two valentines.

If the paper is patterned on only one side, begin with the lighter side facing up.
