Puzzle Description:

This is the very first puzzle I've created! Please be gentle. :D (Actually, I'd rather you be honest.) The title refers not to the Beatles song but rather the song about a love potion, in belated honor of Valentine's Day.

Totally great! The image is very clear and even when I guessed the title reference I wanted to see how you would bring it off. I was especially impressed by the lack of predicability in a first puzzle.

Nice first puzzle.

You did a good job of avoiding symmetry with the hearts, and that made it unusually fun!

Thank you for making it, please make more, and welcome!

I'm gonna be honest... I love it! The different sizes and positions of the hearts made them interesting to solve.

It's amazing how two little words (the title) can trigger feelings and memories from so long ago. I remember the cover of the original by the Clovers. The Searchers made it a hit way back in 1965. (I was a teenager in love.)

Liz, I'm so glad you made the leap. I hope this is the first of many more from you.

What a great start!

Ditto all of the above, except the part about being a teenager in love in 1965 (though my parents were -- sorry Teresa!). Now I have duelling songs stuck in my head; the love potion song and "Why Must I Be a Teenager in Love?"

Think about competing in the WCP, perhaps next one?

Has anyone seen the cheesetastic movie version of Love Potion #9? It stars Sandra Bullock and Tate Donovan. Terrible, awful, guilty pleasure. :D

I never saw it, Kristen, but I enjoy silly movies like that sometimes. Think I'll watch it on Netflix. It's also on YouTube, if anyone is interested:
