Silhouette Studio Pictures

[Abbey1]

I have a rather random request, but I am wondering if anyone has framed their silhouette in a rectangular frame and could show me a picture of how it turned out? I'm thinking about waiting to frame my family's silhouettes until we get home, and get a 8 x 11 frame with a 5 x 7 opening. Has anyone done this? Thanks!

I haven't. But you can probably get a custom oval matte cut at a framing store and put that in a larger rectangular frame.

I haven't framed mine yet, but I have a silhouettte from WDW (I assume DLR uses the same size) and I have a 5x7 mat (square, not oval) for an 8x10 frame. Comparing the silhouette to the mat, it does fit - but barely. the mat opening is actually 4.5x6.5 and that just barely fits around the outside of the printed black oval trim on the silhouette paper. So what you are proposing SHOULD work. (although with an 8x10 frame, not 8x11. 8x10 is the standard size.)

Awesome! That's exactly the information I was wanting. Thanks!
