My pearl; Dvarsh V-Day Card 3

 

This one is my favorite visually, even though it is the most sloppy of all the cards.  Again, we see a combining of modifiers: "My pearl" (mefve habvetdza) becoming "habvetdzamefve," and again at the end, with "my moon." 

Pearl, moon, sun, glow.  Who wouldn't swoon?
