Striped wrapping paper (2)


This is another example of the fine "minimalist" styles of wraping paper that have recently been popular. It is printed on a fine brown paper, in three colours. The colours are a dull brown, a dull blue, and a rather pleasing gold ink.

The overall effect is rather pleasing. The muted colours of the background form a pleasant contrast to the shimmering gold stripes. As you can see, this sheet of paper once wrapped a present. Its impatient recipient tore the wrapper to the state you see here.

Cupcake holder (2)

Here is another cupcake holder. This particular sample is decorated with a pattern of roses. The brown marks are the remnants of the sweet treat it once contained.
