Picture frame for fishing photo

[James Jaragosky]

After getting the laserbuzz software I was inspired to create some of my own picture frames. Here is my first.
Your comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome and encourage.
Please be as brutally honest as necessary.

Hi James,

Great concept and I really like the idea of the fish in the weeds cutting into the photo area.

One way to enhance this would be to cut the fish border out completely and glue it on top of the frame as a seperate piece (maybe a different material the the base frame. It adds a step, but would really set off the frame nicely.

You have done all the hard work in corel already so the extra step of gluing a couple of pieces together would not be that much more work.

Cheers!
