# Diorama Card

> Shadow-box card: paper cut-outs stand at different depths inside a box with real inner walls behind a mat-board window. Tilting toward the cursor reveals the walls, slides the layers past each other with drop shadows, and moves a soft glare across the frame. Bring any backdrop and layers.
