Valentine Biscornu
A ruby red monochrome pattern that you could easily personalize by picking your very own set of colours. You can even "color in" some parts of the design such as the hearts, and use other colors for other ornamental elements. It's a lot of fun when you can choose your very own colors and this pattern is perfect for that.
