I’m always on the hunt for cute Valentine’s Day cards for kids to exchange with friends at school or in the neighborhood. I always think the more creative a card is, the more memorable it will be for the recipient.
These adorable Valentines using what my son calls mini oranges (clementines!) are just that…
cute and memorable!
