If I'd have seen both frames minus the picture I'd have chosen the first one definately as it's more my style, plain and simple, but infact the applique looks amazingly nice in the second.Alison - Belovedlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408859422081350618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121903679388054450.post-67753509905106587322011-06-07T18:52:57.452+01:002011-06-07T18:52:57.452+01:00Framing really does make an image shine.
