I'd like to be a millionaire, and in my private car to fare, across the continent in ease, or sail my yacht on seven seas, but more than all I'd like to sign myself as your true Valentine.

Single fold Valentine's Day card shows a shoulder length blonde haired young girl paddling a canoe in the water. The girl is wearing a short sleeved lilac dress. A blonde haired doll is in the seat behind the girl. In the background are pine trees, the rooftop of a house, and blue sky. Surrounding the picture of the girl canoeing is an art deco design. One design is in gold, white, pink and blue. The other design has a black background and basket of flowers placed above, below, and on either side of the picture of the girl. Inside the card in black and white is a young child dangling a heart in front of a baby in a stroller. Tied to the stroller is a black and white spotted puppy wearing a bow around its neck. Behind the stroller is a heart shaped cloud.
