Even though the thought of tax paperwork leaves us sighing, we’ve managed to find some inspiration amongst the piles of numbers to keep our creative juices flowing. It’s easy to miss these delicate small-scale prints especially when sorting through mountains of W9s and other paperwork. Squiggles, dashes, hatch marks and more, these tiny designs decorate the interiors of envelopes and perform an important role by blocking what’s inside from snooping eyes.
