Preview thumbnail for Hands, holding hands, holding hands. I’m prepping for a submission, my only complaint is that the paper is too short 1090mm. Not too sure if I prefer the positive or the negative, I’m struggling to decide but until I cut the last person, it’s stuck together anyway and I can play with it! image
