I have a group of figures made of bits of cloth and ribbon glued to slightly decorated cardboard backgrounds. They come in cardboard sleeves with lettering on the cover.

I can provide pictures.
Thank you

Michael,

I can't think of anything that fits that description myself, but if you can post photos on the web somewhere, someone here might be able to help.

Thank you all. The items I have are not paper rather they are cloth. They are very similar in look. I have to find a place to post the pictures.
