24" X 30" Memorial Collage Template Mat
My new 24" X 30" Memorial Collage Mat Template has one large 10-1/2" X 15-1/4" opening in the center with 86 small outside openings in popular ratios (4 x 5, 4 x 6, 6 x 4 and square) to accommodate images of friends and family to create a special tribute of a loved one for a Memorial Service, Special Birthday or Anniversary.
Add color, texture or an image to the face of the mat to tie in with the main image. The openings have layer effects to simulate mat bevels with drop shadows to give it a realistic custom collage mat look. The template can be downsized to print 16" X 20" or 8" X 10" keepsakes of the occasion.
