So, I've done some calculations, and I think the best combinations to try to get this with are Blue Fire/Frostfire with Tree/Moss/Clover. My reasoning is that you definitely want the possibility of getting Poison or Flower as a result, because of the short hatch times. Also, you won't get a 12-hour dragon (that isn't Paper) as a result. The next best combo is Lava with Lichen/Evergeen/Reindeer. However, you can get more dragons with long hatch times with that combo.

Blue Fire/Frostfire + Tree/Moss/Clover = Poison (.5), Flower (1), Lichen (6), Lava (10), Evergreen (10), Mountain(14) .. for a total incubation time of 41.5 hours

Lava + Evergreen/Lichen/Reindeer = Poison, Flower, Blue Fire (12), Frostfire (12), Moss (12), Tree (14), Mountain (14) .. for a total incubation time of 65.5 hours

''Note: This could be entirely wrong, and I could be misunderstanding the way breeding works in Dragonvale. This is based on numbers and assumptions, not actual results. There are obviously LOTS of combinations that will work to get Paper. I'm just trying to figure out what is the most efficient way of getting it since it will be retired very soon and many people (including myself) are having trouble.''
