Game of Thrones House Sigil Snowflakes: Paper Cuts are Coming

I resisted watching any of Game of Thrones for a long time before getting bored a few weekends ago and firing up HBO on Demand. I am now hooked on the show and am dying to finish the first couple of seasons so I know everything that’s going on.

A group of patterns has turned up for paper snowflakes made in eight house sigils from the Game of Thrones universe.

The Targaryen snowflake looks like it’s ready to breathe fire.
