Hearts are obvious positive symbols: Goodwill; Love; Health, Friendship, Joy, Happiness... it's easy to find states of mind or sentiments that can be  immediately transmitted graphically with the simple image of an heart.... of course when the image includes two hearts, the more so, overlapping, words cease to be needed to understand the message...

Kiitos paljon, Alicia!
