I am almost ready for Valentine’s Day. I have bought the requisite heart-shaped chocolates and sweets. I have ordered the floral arrangements. I have placed the candles on my dinner table, ready to be lit once the thoroughly-researched Valentine’s Day recipe has been made at the kitchen. On carefully designated corners, door knobs, and windows of my apartment, garlands of hearts and other romantic printable arts and crafts have been hung. Every decorative element that I have recently put up in lieu of the special February holiday is pulsating with romantic shades of red. I’ve even attempted to wax poetic and composed a few lines of amorous rhyme.
The only thing I haven’t yet accomplished is decorating my desktop with Valentine’s Day wallpapers. Yes, everyone needs a little loving on the 14th of February, and that includes my beloved trusty computer. But I have conducted enough research on the Web, and I have narrowed down the almost endless selection of free wallpapers to three. If, like me, you are also looking to spice up your desktop wallpaper with a little Valentine’s Day theme, then you might want to consider checking this list out.
Candied Cupid. This cute wallpaper features Cupid in a rather unusual clay rendition. He is much chubbier, with a single twang of hair on his head. He has an odd set of enormous eyes and marshmallow ears. You wonder what had become of Cupid, why he’s looking so whimsical. The answer? Candies. He’s had too many Valentine’s Day sweets and chocolates. He has made a mess on the floor on which he sits; candy wrappers, heart-shaped chocolate boxes, and forsaken rose-shaped sweets are scattered all around the glutinous culprit. It’s an adorable portrait of our Valentine’s Day hero. And oh – the wallpaper behind Cupid with patterns of hearts on it add a sweet touch, too.
Mementos. This free Valentine’s Day wallpaper is less quirky than the first, but it’s more suitable for those who would want their desktop computers to express the generally romantic sentiment typical of Valentine’s Day. On the wallpaper are the things that could bring back the deep emotions of a lasting love: a card, a love letter, a newspaper clipping, juxtaposed with each other in a way that might arouse one’s first memories of love. Haven’t we all kept mementos like these in the shadows of our bedroom? The wave of happy nostalgia that this wallpaper inspires, mixed with charming text elements like “XOXO” and “Love”, make this desktop download a sweet wallpaper choice for Valentine’s Day.
February Calendar. This is a perfect wallpaper for anyone looking to have some semblance of either love or organization in his or her life. Or both. The silhouettes of two lovebirds perched on a branch are set against the pink background of this free wallpaper, which is also accented by floral graphics and design elements shaded in red, gray, and burgundy. And yes, there’s a February calendar on the wallpaper, too. Use this, and you’ll make Valentine’s Day for you and your computer one that’s easy to remember.
