The Art of Chinese Papercutting...

Many years ago I bought this framed example of Chinese papercutting at a local thrift shop. It cost about $3 but I loved it because it resembled a quilt.

Canon PowerShot SX200 IS
1/30s f/3.4 at 5.0mm iso250 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

It does look like a quilt, except it throbs at me like an optical illusion. Great shot Fay.
