Black Jack Chewing Gum Valentine
Image
Valentine's Day card of a girl in a pink polka dot dress with a white and yellow apron. She is bending forward and is holding an actual stick of Black Jack Chewing Gum in her hands. A red heart is in the background. A verse at the foot reads: "If you "chews" this for a "measuring stick," I'm 'fraid it will not do. Because my heart ain't big enough, To hold my love for you." Offset lithography and die cut.
