| See-through Designs |

| The
arrangement of the layers of paper within a see-through
design creates areas of the design which show up as
windows or shadows when the design is held up to the
light. The
first design of this kind I saw was Wayne Brown's
'Lighthearted'. Lovebird is my response to this design.
