On my wanderings around the net I came across a rubberstamp in the shape of a heart with Chinese text written across it and the word 'Love' in English and Chinese bigger. I thought that it looked neat and wanted to create my own version.

First I looked through my dingbat fonts for the shape of a heart that appealed to me. Next I went looking for a rose and color that. Then I looked on my computer for the lyrics of the Bette Midler song 'The Rose' and copied it and rotated it so it was at and angle and transfered it onto the heart shape.

Now I had to figure out a way to use it as a Valentine and that's where I found that useless CDs made the perfect canvas for my Valentine CD.

Below is the text I used.

The Rose

Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower, and you it's only seed.
It's the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance.
It's the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance.
It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give.
And the soul, afraid of dyin', that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

Artist: Bette Midler
