Take a Word Challenge - Hearts/Valentine

 
Yes, I admit it, life has taught me to be a cynic when it comes to lerve.  When I think of Valentines I want to shout "Bah Humbug" so I took a leaf out of Ebenezer Scrooge's book with this one. Painted by me in ArtRage (digital painting software).  The background is a collection of watercolour splats from Room 122 (free Photoshop brushes).
