Katrina, what a clever idea to create a Valentine treat for your hubby featuring his favorite treat and the VW (which was probably his first car - so it will always be dear to his heart!). I like how you used a blending tool to add shadowing to the card for added depth and realism!! Thank you for sharing your card and special treat with us at Double Trouble!!! -Donna
