create-a-valentine Love is in the air and the iPhone and App Store together is the latest hotbed for conveying your feelings to your Valentine this year. There have been a lot of Valentine apps coming this year at the App Store. The latest to jump into the Valentine bandwagon is R. Cloud Software’s Create a Valentine. Now what is special about this app when there is a host of other valentine apps? Well, this one uses the same creative combination Steve Bjorkman and Ryan Stubblefield which created the liltingly creative Create-a-Cartoon Face application. Bjorkman’s greetings have been among the very best in the business for more than 25 years now. No wonder, these gift cards are a class apart.

Interface: Like the Create-a-Cartoon Face application, this app is also blessed with a really neat user interface. Some special niceties:

1. MarketFelt Font

2. 6 different and hand drawn hearts to choose from

3. 12 hand-drawn and differently colored backgrounds to choose from

4. Saving them in the iPhone photo library and e-mailing them to your sewwtheart

5. And it’s a freebie. Looks like this team is onto something big in bringing the hand-drawn illustration series to the iPhone and the Apple Store. Another tribute to the App Store’s growing identity as the latest style icon.
