CAS-ual Fridays - CFC88, Love Letters

This one is for Cas-ual Fridays CFC88  - Love Letters contest for this week. Again, I am enjoying trying my best with CAS cards but it isn't easy... So much so, that I removed the first version and did another version.

I enjoy more non-traditional colours but red hearts are a must for v-day!

Thanks for taking the time!
