## Prompt

```text
Transform the image into a charming {style} artwork, inspired by handmade paper dioramas and contemporary storybook illustrations. Reimagine all subjects using simplified, endearing proportions with clean geometric forms, soft curves, and minimal facial features such as tiny eyes, subtle blush accents, and gentle expressions. Construct the scene from multiple stacked paper layers, each with crisp cut edges and noticeable dimensional separation. Add realistic depth through overlapping cardstock shapes and delicate shadows cast between layers, creating the appearance of a carefully assembled handcrafted paper sculpture. Surround every primary character with a bold {outline_color} contour layer, designed as a separate cut-paper backing or sticker-style border. This outline should appear as an actual physical paper layer with thickness and structure, clearly distinguishing the characters from the surrounding environment without looking like a glow or digital effect. Use a soothing palette of {color_palette}. Keep colors balanced, calming, and cohesive. Lighting should be gentle and diffused, emphasizing the layered construction and tactile qualities of the paper materials while maintaining a soft, inviting atmosphere. Paper surfaces should feel matte, textured, and tangible, resembling premium cardstock, craft paper, or foam-board cutouts. Preserve visible layering, subtle edge thickness, and handcrafted imperfections that enhance authenticity. Overall aesthetic: cozy, whimsical, heartwarming, and refined, blending the feel of artisan paper art, modern children's book illustration, and decorative handcrafted design with a polished professional finish.
