Paper-cut is a picture cut out on a paper with scissors. Paper cutting has been a traditional folk art in China dating back to thousands of years. The paper cuts are often pasted on the windows, doors, lintels and lanterns to express joy, perception or faith. Also can be used to create greeting cards, decorate photo albums ,design a poster or hang in the sitting room with a frame.

      A finished paper cut  is an  unbroken, continuous piece, the pictures are carved from special, tissue-thin rice paper, using pointed scissors and small knives, then hand painted with bright Chinese ink. And the cut away sections allow for a variety of backing and mounting options (this paper cut is shown against a white background for display purposes).
