Abstract: A decorative window shade for a window opening and the like constructed of multiple layers of materials. A base layer covers the total area of the shade. Subsequent layers having defined patterns are applied in layers. A portion of the base layer may remain uncovered to provide an area having a single thickness of material, the subsequent layers may cover only a portion of the base layer to provide an area having a two layer thickness or may be overlaid on a previous patterned layer to provide an area having a multiple layer thickness. The layered material thus provides areas of varying thickness which provided for areas varying in translucence. In addition the patterned arrangement of the layers of material provide a shade that is aesthetically appealing.
