Just the stars on burgundy background. We could frame three sets of nine (with or without a mat). The image size is approx 12x12 and could be hung at an angle, or straight and in a vertical or horizontal grouping, or split up.

Same note as last, just a different colored background.

Same note as last just another color for a background.

This is just a computer generated cream color mat with wood frame.

Rectangular layout with black and white border illustration (still would obviously need some color for background).

Here is a sample of a square layout which echoes the 8 point design of the stars. This is 28 x 28 without frame or mat. Just another potential layout. I don't have paper large enough to lay out different color backgrounds for these last options.

Stephanie, here is a sample where I started to put "quilt squares" behind the stars to unify the design. I didn't have enough to do the whole thing and I didn't have any large pieces of paper to put underneath for a background, but wanted to include this as another possibility to consider. Also, I think the paper we bought to possibly use as background "quilt squares" is a little too much given the color and design in the stars themselves.

This shows how the stars appear when flat behind glass. This will be the least expensive to frame.

This shows stars not completely flattened, this would require some spacing between mats so more expensive to frame.

This is the version that flattens the stars the least...most expensive to frame as requires more spacing and a deeper frame.

Just another sample i found online. I dislike the gold, but wanted to show something that was framed as a set (two instead of our three) in groups of nine. Note, no mat, wide frame.

Just another framed sample. I find it blah due to the white background and gray mat. Mat seems to narrow for size of picture, but was probably framed that way to keep in from getting too big and or too expensive to frame.

Just another sample of a nine piece framed image. Don't like the colors used, but note this one has a mat and frame.

An example of another class who did this for an auction project, but mounted on black background with black frame...sort of harsh, but colors do pop.

Boring, but just another example of a design simply framed on plain background with plain frame.

I added this because I thought is was really pretty. It may just be the papers they used that I liked, but thought I would include it.

I really don't like shadow boxes because they create, wait for it, SHADOWS! It just takes away from the piece in my opinion.

This has nothing to do with us other than I thought it had great potential as an auction project. Not sure if you can tell at this size, but the stars are made of cranes and the stripes are made of different color papers. So how easily I can get distracted as I browse online...reminds me of helping with geo questions. ;)
