That looks fantastic.

I have a cap to frame and haven't ever done it before! How have you attached it? Have you put mount or foam board inside to keep the shape?

Thoughts- a well set out and framed group
Advice- keep 'er lit.

I'm sure you and Mikeysaling could compare and converse re medal etc.

All the best and welcome

Welcome to the forum!

The layout of the items is OK but I'd put more space around it all, at least 3", to take the frame away from the action. Another general rule I have is to put at least twice the space around a group of images as there is between each .... and never less than 3"!
