I just remembered.
I had seen that cut-out of a green leaf / of same dimensions (approx. 6 X 2-1/2 ins.) on light green cardboard / of my last post, albeit in a different context – a contemporary one !! /
from I think after 2000 or around that era / there’s no date on the card.
ROB PRUITT . . . must have seen the original Shaker image.
well, Rob, got the message. one way or another.
