A page of yellow backing paper is affixed inside the valentine with an applied forget-me-not visiting card.

The woman is in garden setting with a fountain and the image from the visiting card in the background. Lace paper vignettes include cherubs, birds and roses. Two applied floral wreath scraps adorn the upper portion of the card. A rose and leaves adorn the base. Blue and orange wafers at top. The inside and back cover are blank.
