OFF-TOPIC, kinda.
I was readng the Blue33 thread, KAREN, and saw you've reserved some spaces for him, so I had a look in my 2021 folder - came across this, which is not what you need so I'm posting it here. The full snap was crying out to be heart-shaped but this is the only option I have, apart from a lop-sided fuzzy one :(((
Anyway, it was quite calming, messing with this:
