Another larger frame- Simple ten inch square with circles

This is a larger version of the baby bug frame for those who have the Expression and can cut larger items. I used Plantin Schoolbook for the frame outlines since that is the cartridge that comes with the Expression and many people who did not start with a little bug can't find a George cartridge for a reasonable price!

Here is the frame it the "Plain Jane" version - straight off the mat!



This frame could be for a special photo, a title page or multiple photos using the small circles. You can fill the "holes" with other colors to create an interesting effect - here is a close up showing how they fit in the frame.



A one and 1/4 inch circle fits it the opening nicely - you can use a hole punch (remember those!) to get a detail or face from a photo to put in each spot - as many or few as you like in any sort of pattern you think of. Here is an example of a photo punched to fit.



You can also try using markers on this frame - the circles are narrow so become nearly black with just a thin line of paper color showing - the places where they are welded are a bit thicker so you can see more color there.



This frame was designed using the silhouette circle from Mini Monograms (a very useful cartridge to have). If you don't have it you could redo the file and use a circle from Plantin Schoolbook welded in the same pattern and then add slightly smaller circles that are not welded which will cut out the center of each welded circle - give it a try and contact me if you need help.

I also created a background filler on this file - similar to the one for the baby bug frames. Here are a few photos showing how this can change the look of your page.







This background filler will also fit the "Friends" frame from my post on March 6th.

Endless variations are possible here - see what you can come up with!
