<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Labor Day has come and gone, so Falloween is officially in the air. And how better to gently ease into the season than with charming paper cuttings by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/nancymichalak" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nancy Michalak</a>?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Nancy, a former elementary school teacher, </span><span class="s1">bases much of her work on photographs of her three now-grown children. </span><span class="s1">Each original design is carefully cut from colored and silhouette paper. Some are underlaid with a collage background, while others incorporate digital details. I think you&#8217;ll agree that all are striking and share a certain timeless quality! </span></p>
