## Description

**\### A Dramatic Scroll Reveal for Text**

Paper Curtains places a row of colored strips over your text that peel away with a satisfying, physics-based animation the moment they scroll into view. It's a simple idea executed with polish—perfect for hero headings, pull quotes, or any text that deserves an entrance.

**\### 5 Fall Directions × 5 Stagger Patterns**

Mix and match to create dozens of unique reveal styles:

\- **Fall Directions**: Down, Up, Split, Alternating, and Scatter Drop—each with its own 3D rotation and physics feel.

\- **Stagger Patterns**: Left to Right, Right to Left, Center Out, Edges In, or Random—control the order the strips peel off.

**\### Full Visual Customization**

Every visual aspect of the curtains is exposed in the Framer property panel:

\- **Solid or Gradient Fill**: Switch between a flat color and a configurable linear gradient with start color, end color, and angle controls.

\- **Border Styling**: Add borders to each strip with independent width, color, and style (solid, dashed, or dotted) controls.

\- **Corner Radius**: Round the corners of each strip from sharp rectangles to soft pills.

\- **Curtain Count & Oversize**: Fine-tune how many strips cover the text and how far they extend beyond the text bounds.

**\### Full Font Control**

Uses Framer's native extended font controls—set the family, weight, size, line height, letter spacing, and alignment directly in the property panel. No CSS overrides needed.

**\### Designer-Friendly Canvas Tools**

\- **Preview Curtains Toggle**: Show curtains at rest on the canvas so you can style colors, gradients, and borders visually—then hide them to check the revealed text layout.

**\### Performant & Production Ready**

\- **Spring Physics**: Powered by Framer Motion springs for smooth, hardware-accelerated animation.

\- **Scroll-Triggered**: Uses \`useInView\` with a \`once\` trigger so the animation fires exactly once and the strips are removed from the DOM after they fall.
