Of course, I also produce a series of calendar event signs every month, and for this month I developed signs that featured roses, candy hearts, chocolates, and cupid. Only one of our branches had a Chinese New Year event planned, so for that branch I even included a visual for that holiday--still within the "couple's theme"--by having a traditional Chinese New Year boy and girl.
