Valentine card is printed on glossy paper. Many shapes and designs cover the front. Each corner displays a heart and flowers. Other cut-outs on side, bottom, top and fold dispaly same motif. Around the oval in the middle of the card are the embossed flowers that resemble propellers. A blond hair boy with dark blue swim suit of top shirt and shorts is kicking at the water while holding the hand of a black hair girl in a red sleevless top with red bloomers, red cap on her head. Background could be hills of sand, a light house, green trees and possibly rocks. Fluffy clouds in a light blue sky. Inside right is a different scene. The verse is at the bottom. Middle ground and background right is a boy standing in a sailboat holding the arm of a girl standing on the dock, it would appear she isn't too sure about getting into the boat. The boat has a heart shaped sail. Behind the sail are clouds and birds in a distance.
