I have included a picture of the cake that inspired me. When I saw the swags, all I could think of was bananas......hence this very unusual Valentine card. One of my DGS's will laugh when he gets this!
Thanks for looking.
P.S. Does this keep me on the Naughty List this year, Schirmcat???

Awwww Anne this is so cute. That banana monkey is a super way to show your DGD that you are ape over her. I love how you used the bananas as the scallop on the bottom layer. Looks awesome. TFS...

This is as cute as can be and how clever of you to add the cake picture too. Thanks for that. It makes the comparison so much easier. And who would have thought of a purple monkey? But he works so beautifully on this card. I love everything about it. So perfectly done.
