Abstract
A system and method for providing a visible marker when at least two objects are combined. The visible marker may be any desired marking but, in the preferred embodiment, is a heart-shape. The two objects may be two-dimensional, such as cards, or three-dimensional, such as toys or household items. The creation of the visible marker by bringing two objects into proximity can show common origin and manufacture and, where a heart-shape is used, can send positive social and moral messages of love and togetherness.

- providing a first object having a first mating portion thereon forming one part of a marking;
- providing a second object having a second mating portion thereon forming a second part of said marking and coupleable to said first mating portion on said first object so as to form said marking;
- and
- coupling said first mating portion on said first object to said second mating portion on said second object so as to form said marking;
