Usually, I make my art and then try and find a frame to fit; this time, I found this great frame and mat from a thrift store, and made the art to fit it. The embroidery floss color coordinates with the orange line on the mat. After all of these years, I found out it's easier to make the art to fit the frame than the other way around! ;-)
