You

 Periodically, I go through my stash of die cuts, sample runs from embossing folders, and other saved elements from previous projects.  I like to think I'm really helping to mow down the ever-growing pile of such items.  Sigh.  The embossed background on this card is one such piece . . .

 I don't know if the photo will show it, but at each crossing in the background argyle pattern, there is a raised design shaped like a dog's paw.  Really cute, but I noticed that if I turned it upside down, the paws became hearts!  As this card is for a February birthday, the decision to leave it upside down was a no-brainer.  How I love finding ways to use various elements that are different from what the designer may have had in mind!
