Paper-Cut Whimsical Illustration Transform

Transform this image into a soft hand-cut layered illustration style, inspired by the aesthetics of paper sculpture 3D models. Use smooth, rounded shapes, simplified cute character proportions, and minimalist facial details (polka dot eyes, blush) to create a warm and charming look. Apply stacked paper layers with distinct depth, subtle shadows between layers, and clean cut edges similar to laser-cut cardstock. Add a distinct white outer outline layer around each main character, similar to thick sticker borders or white paper-cutting backing, clearly separating the characters from the background. This white layer should feel like a deliberate paper layer rather than a glowing effect. Use soft tones, including soft blues, greens, and warm neutrals, maintaining balance and calmness. Light should be soft, diffused, and even, enhancing the sense of dimensional paper layers without strong contrast. The texture should be matte and tactile, like thick art paper or craft foam. Overall atmosphere: comfortable, healthy, gentle, like picture books, with a playful and refined handcrafted feel, suitable for modern illustration, children's books, or decorative arts.
