  In the spirit of Valentine's Day...
  
  How can I build a two-dimensional LEGO heart? [Here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Heart_coraz%C3%B3n.svg) is an example of the shape I'm looking for.
  
  Perhaps the model should be built from the bottom upward? I would prefer that some [Red Slope 45° 2 x 2](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=3496-1) bricks (and their inverted counterparts) be used to achieve this.
