For those who have DrawGraphics this is my attempt at a Valentine plot.

ptlist = {{0, 0}, {0.149827`, 0.174208`}, {0.324045`, 0.348426`}, {0.45645`,

vlineright = SplineToLine[ptlist, Bezier, 40];
vlineleft = vlineright /. {x_, y_} -> {-x, y};

heart = StitchLineSegments[{vlineright, Reverse /@ vlineleft}];
lace = Partition[First@heart, 2, 1];

lacepiece[{pt1_, pt2_}] := Module[{size, center, \[Theta]0},
   center = (pt1 + pt2)/2; size = Sqrt[(pt2 - pt1) . (pt2 - pt1)]/2;
    {White, Disk[center, size], Black, Circle[center, size]}]

can anyone suggest some code or a graph (or several graphs) that I could
plot in mathematic to display the image of a heart? trying to make a
homemade valentine for my girl.. and being a Physics/Math major it seems
appropriatte to be a bit geeky about it :)

I can't seem to get it look right though.. so can someone help?
