      That's very cute and different, I love the idea of penguins in a heart, it's a very unusual and nice design, I've never seen it before and I'm very impressed :D

      Scott thank you so much for your terrific praise for my penguin couple, from a penguin lover who has such beauties in his collection I am totally flattered

      Thanks Phil for your marvelous compliment, it is a very clever & creative design - sort of romantic in a 60s style, the curviness & adding bright red enamel brings attention to these cuddling birds

      Lauren I'm truly glad you appreciate the uniqueness of this design, I see it as an artistic interpretation of penguins such as you might find in the surrealistic sculptures of those times which exaggerated real shapes. Thank you for your always thoughtful and insightful praise

      Thanks Patricia & Dawn for the love for this "mod" looking pair of penguins, I'm glad you enjoyed this quirky brooch and always appreciate your kind consideration

      Thanks so much Elaine for the love for my "hearted" pair of penguins, have had this piece for years & am glad others saw the pretty in its unusual design
