I saw this and fell in love. It has all of the ingredients to make a wonderful frame. Simple, clean, effective and symbolic. Even a nice place at top for a title. The small box areas could be used for a subtitle, or issue number, etc. Wonderful.

This is a frame around a poem. The poem was either super old or pretentious, because it doesn't make a lot of sense if you read it quickly: "Oft in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Fond memory brings the light,
Of other days around me;
The smiles, the tears of boyhood's years,
The words of love then spoken,
The eyes that shone, now dimmed and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken!
Thus in the stilly night, &c."
Anyway, the frame is available for new generations to use in whatever ways they want!
I found this old ornate frame somewhere in the depths of ancients public domain images a loooong time ago, but I never went about synthesizing it because it's balance and design was a little odd. I was looking at it tonight, and it just started to appeal to me. I wanted to share it's pre-digital joy with the world.
This is a decorative frame. I really got to stop synthesizing these. But then again, people seem to like them, so heres another. There are a lot of square ones so I thought I would offer a round one now too!
To me this almost looks like Islamic art or something. It's not, but just saying. This is a awesome frame. Two for the price of one. You could put a photo on the top and text on the bottom or vica versa or photos in both or whatever. Scrapbook ready, or just ready for any other use. Go for it!
