- You give me butterflies.
- Anyone can catch my eye, but it takes someone special to catch my heart,
- Across my dreams, with nets of wonder, I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love.
About that Butterfly net:
You could also call it a Dream Catcher.
This fun card could be consider a MayDay card.
May Day celebrations are all about expressive dancing and celebrating. The Puritans in 16th and 17th century New England labeled the rituals bacchanalian, licentious and pagan, which naturally led to fewer celebrations during that time. Thus the springtime holiday never became an important part of American culture as it is in many European countries.
But luckily May Day celebrations made their way back into the modern era and remain a symbol of the wondrous shift from the dreary cold season to the lively warmer one.
Participants dance and weave ribbons around a tall Maypole.
This card has a lot going on.
When it opens, a pole with a giant heart pops up. The girl tugs on a string or ribbon around the pole, and the heart spins around. It’s a twirling pop up card. Rather unusual. And clever, and fun, and cute.
The butterfly net might be a dreamcatcher.
The boy and girl are young, maybe teenagers. Their love is sweet and innocent. They’re happy.
They’re out catching hearts.
