In a small bowl, stir frozen tart cherries together with flour, sugar, salt and melted butter. Spoon mixture into pie crusts and cut out mini hearts with remaining scraps of dough. Place stars on top of each mini pie and bake 25-30 minutes or until fruit is bubbly and pie crust has browned lightly.
