s2 layout: dream dust for my pirate valentine [minmalism]

[milou_veronica]

Valentine's day is tomorrow or something, so I pimped out some of my layouts with valentine versions. Firstly is Dream Dust for My Pirate Valentine, in minimalism. Most of this was pretty simple, except for the hours I spent getting the buttons to show up cross-browsers.
