In a delightful, imaginative world that straddles the line between whimsy and the extraordinary, picture a bustling Valentine’s Day park scene, reminiscent of an Edward Gorey tale yet infused with the vibrant, fairy-tale charm of Beatrix Potter. At the heart of this card's illustration is a dapper Dachshund, donned in a snug, scarlet bow tie that matches the blossoming hearts floating gently in the background sky. With a twinkle of mischief in its eyes, the dog is portrayed standing on hind legs with a playful grin, holding not an actual firearm, but a heart-shaped water gun, cheekily aimed at an unsuspecting pair of love-struck pigeons perched nearby.

The pigeons, oblivious to the impending splash of Cupid’s 'watered-down' love, are depicted nuzzling close on a park bench fashioned from elaborate wrought iron with intricately twisting vines—a nod to the elaborate linework of Aubrey Beardsley. Around them, the park is a wonderland of romance and nature, with towering trees adorned with glistening heart-shaped leaves, casting intricate shadows across the path in a style akin to Arthur Rackham’s illustrations.

In the foreground, a picnic setup lies partially visible, a gingham cloth spread out with a basket brimming with assorted heart-shaped sandwiches and pastries, while a thermos, comically oversized, is tipped over with love notes spilling out instead of liquid, a touch inspired by Quentin Blake's humor.

The sky is a dreamy gradient of pastel pinks and purples reminiscent of Maxfield Parrish’s skies, dotted with fluffy clouds shaped like swirling amorous gestures. The border of the card is subtly lined with golden filigree patterns, inspired by Gustave Doré, framing this light-hearted tale of canine cupid capers with elegance and charm.
