7" X 10"  -  Cut 2 - This is for the back.

NOTE:  The 2 pieces of the back will be joined with hinges so that you will have access to installing lighting.  The side that can be seen through the window opening will have a landscape picture attached to it with double faced tape so you can change it from time to time, if you so desire at the changes of the seasons.  Or if you just feel like a change.
