art of Queen Uriel using her tube Valentine's Cupid.

I am also showcasing the oh so lovely scrap

Cheeky Cupid by Curious Creative Dreams.

With her trusty bow & arrow, cupid decides

who shall fall in love with who. 

Us humans are not always fond of cupid's choices however.

Love is much more complicated than simply being

hit by an arrow by the bringer of love. If only 

it was that simple!! But there is a touch of romance

in the idea of cupid to help us find our true love.
