Don't throw a Wet Blanket on my flaming love

The central panel has applied decoration of a rectangular piece of paper representing a blanket and a paper cut out illustration of a red winged heart with flames coming from the top. These paper scraps illustrated the handwritten message 'Don't throw a wet blanket on my flaming love'. Part of the 'blanket' flaps down to reveal an applied paper shoe sole with the handwritten motto 'you are my sole delight'.
