A Paper Lantern in an Empty Porch on an Indigo Night

Scene: an empty Halloween porch rendered as a flat, front-facing cut-paper theatre set, horizontal 16:9, camera at sidewalk eye level looking straight on. Layout. The top two thirds is a smooth deep-indigo paper wall. In its middle stands one plain door with a parchment border; the door is a blank indigo panel fitted with a small saffron paper knob, and wide empty wall is left on either side of it. The bottom third is a parchment paper porch floor reaching the lower edge, with its front trimmed into a single shallow step. Centred before the door lies a rectangular, empty welcome mat made of smoke-blue paper strips. A paper lantern with an indigo frame and glowing saffron panes hangs from a short paper bracket on the left of the door. At the far right of the porch floor, entirely inside the frame, a plain round parchment bowl is heaped with small saffron paper pumpkins. Light: night, and the lantern is the only source. It spreads a warm saffron pool over the mat and doorstep, and the corners of the wall fall away to almost-black indigo. Soft shadows cast downward and to the right separate one layer from the next. Material rules: build everything from a small number of clean cut-paper planes with real gaps between layers and one consistent light direction. Stick to large shapes (silhouette, pose, proportion, big colour fields); below fingertip scale, show only cut edges, folds and shadows, turning every surface into paper shapes. Any eyes or nose are cut-paper pieces with a single paper highlight. Paper fibre and cut-edge grain show everywhere. No photographic detail, printed outlines, photo scraps or text. Colour: indigo, saffron, smoke blue, parchment only. Door, mat, wall and bowl are blank, with no letters, numbers or markings.
