Well I had to do something with all those hearts.
Expert? The clone and healing brush tools were in overtime. I did my best to get rid of all the Post-It logos. Not much else.

Thanks for the all the comments, votes and the ribbon!
Karen: I usually always use Post-It Pop Ups and I use a glue stick on any unruly pieces. I might use regular Post-Its if the color is not available in the pop-up varieties.

You never get tired of these, eh Robert? :) Congrats on your fittingly red ribbon! (I guess in this challenge all three ribbons should have been red, with different tints)
