scale at a certain angle. On the other side. Simple curve, which will be
different face of our fish. now cut The paper from both the sides following this
pencil guidelines. From the bottom cut four equally spaced
scripts leaving about four centimeter
gap from top. You can make pencil
guidelines first, instead of using
