I really cannot resist a pretty papercut or silhouette, particularly on a Friday morning when I need something to help give me that extra push towards the weekend.  So when Joe Bagley sent over some of his work, I knew it would do just the trick:

Joe takes custom requests through his shop, Papercuts by Joe, and you can check out a lot of behind-the-scenes tidbits on his blog.  Thanks Joe!
