Dear Li Hua, My friend Daisy’s birthday is coming. I am thinking about giving her some paper cut because she is interested in Chinese arts and crafts. I wonder if these two kinds of paper cut are suitable as her birthday gift. They are beautiful but I don’t know their meanings. If they’re not suitable, do you have any good suggestions? Besides, I’m afraid I can’t cut them well. Can you give me some help? Looking forward to your reply.

I’m glad your friend likes Chinese culture.
