"Removable" decoupage panel suggestions?...

We have a solid door with a recessed center. The door in question is
similar to the "Infinity 8311 FM" model at the Simpson Door website
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?H249510C5).

We would like to decoupage the recessed area, but do not want it to be
permanent. In fact, we'd like to have various decoupages depending
upon the time of year (and our mood). So affixing the decoupage
directly to the door would not work in this application.

We were hoping for suggestions as to what kind of backing material
onto which we'd actually affix the decoupage. This backing material
would have to be lightweight, fairly rigid, and one piece to fit the
recessed area - we'd probably affix it to the door with Fun-Tak or
similar.

Any suggestions as to what we can use for these "removable" decoupage
panels and/or the best way to non-permanently affix them to the door?

Thanks for any help!

How about a thin clear acrylic sheet cut to size? Perhaps the
decoupage could be sandwiched between two thin sheets of acrylic cut
to the size of the recessed area.

I have had good success using low-tack shelving paper
as a support for this kind of thing. I've not tried
decoupaging - which implies use of glue - but I've
done faux 'stained glass' and such by attaching the
shelf paper to glass, plexiglass and wood substrates.
The shelving paper is easily peeled
off whenever you tire of the design or image. I use
mostly acrylic paints for these designs - the kind
that you buy for house trim painting from Walmart. In
fact the shelf paper I use comes from Walmart. I prefer
the clear shelf paper, or the plain white, depending
on whether I want light to shine through it or not.
