What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A picture hanging system comprising:
 a hanger, said hanger comprising:
 an anchor portion; 
 an offset portion; 
 an array plate having a plurality of circular apertures aligned in a plurality of nested lines; said anchor portion spaced from said array portion by said offset portion; 
   a picture display, said picture display comprising:
 a backing; 
 a spacer; and 
 a picture; said anchor portion of said hanger mounted to said backing, said picture mounted to said spacer, said spacer mounted to said backing 
   
     
     
         2 . The picture hanging system of  claim 1 , wherein said array portion is cantilevered relative said anchor portion by said offset portion. 
     
     
         3 . The picture hanging system of  claim 1 , wherein said array portion is mounted between a pair of said offset portions. 
     
     
         4 . A picture hanger system comprising:
 a planar member having a front side and a back side; a picture is printed on said front side of said planar member;   a hanger includes an array portion and an anchor portion, said anchor portion is adhered to said back side of said planar member, said anchor portion is joined to said array portion by said offset portion; said offset portion is joined to both said array portion and said anchor portion and offsets said array portion from said planar member; said array portion includes a plurality of apertures arrayed in a series of vertical lines wherein a diameter of an aperture in a first vertical line is oriented to intersect a tangent of an aperture in an adjacent vertical line; said array portion includes an auxiliary aperture which is partially defined by a sawtooth picture hanger.   
     
     
         5 . The picture hanging system of  claim 4 , wherein said array portion is cantilevered relative said anchor portion by said offset portion.
