I did a quick search and couldn't find the answer, so if it's here somewhere please forgive me! :) I'm in a rush because of crafting commitments for Christmas --- that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it. :) Is there a way to draw a heart shape other than using the node tool? I don't have time and I'm so frustrated! I'd appreciate any and all help. TIA

Here is a link to a post about drawing a heart on my blog http://www.cuttwopieces.com/2009/07/ink ... rdrop.html
However, I don't think that is the method you wish to use. I know some people use two circles and a triangle and weld the shapes together. Screenshots below.

Another alternative is to use a heart shaped font and you can find a few here http://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=heart&page=1

Thanks so much, Carolyn! I'm trying to do an aperture bookmark with "I <heart> books" in the aperture for my grandson's school Christmas sale. My heart, using the node tool method, really sucked because I'm in a time crunch :( . Thank you, thank you.
