A holiday decorating concept uses simulated stained glass inserts in translucent plastic to transform window views into cathedral scenes. Available in sizes 28 by 38 inches with aluminum edged panels or 120 by 28 inch plastic sheets, they depict The Nativity Flight From Egypt Three Kings of Orient and Shepherds. General Electric lighting advisors suggest lighting from inside with a 75 watt floodlight about three feet from the window for smooth effect.
