Happy Valentines Day Cards
- send Valentine's greetings with lots of love hearts

Two valentines day cards that will help you express your love to that special someone in your life. Bright red base cards or black base cards. Whichever you use as a background for your design, adding a heart or two love hearts is a must.

I'm sure the following two valentine greetings will be a hit this valentine day. I made these in one day and my friends love them very much. So I thought I will take a photo and upload it here with instructions.

The first is very easy to make and the other, not so difficult if you just follow the step by step instructions given below.
