Valentine Border of Ruffled Hearts and Roses

Two large hearts overlap in the middle of the page, each framed by a ruffled edge like a lacy wreath. Clusters of roses with small pointed leaves sit along the top of both hearts and where they meet at the bottom. A big ribbon bow ties the upper left heart, and a smaller bow sits at the bottom of the right heart. The words HAPPY VALENTINE DAY are written in curly, playful letters across the top. A border of outlined and solid black hearts runs around the whole page. The empty centers of both hearts are great spots for a name, a short message, or a drawing, so this works well as a homemade card. Try pink and red for the roses, then pick a contrasting color for the ruffles so the layers stand out. Kids can also color the outlined border hearts in a pattern.
