Can somebody photoshop all 3 together so we can see the set?! :pint:
I was actually playing around with framing ideas and put this together:

Thanks! Set looks great. White frames will really make 'em pop.

Black looks good too though.

I figured white would be the way to go too, but for some reason the black felt better. Maybe with a matte the white would look better.

Great set either way.

So good! I'm also interested in framing ideas, if anyone else wants to share what they're thinking of for this set.

I'm normally a white frame guy but with one of the colors being white, feels like black may be the way to go here.

Okay, I tried white again, and maybe I was wrong.

No, I don't think white frames are quite the way to go with this. What would you do with matting? Flat black frame with white mat, or double mat with a bit of the color of that film showing through? This is going to be tough! (but in a fun way!)

As I look at these again, the only thing I'm disappointed with in the prints is that there doesn't seem to be any blue in the Rouge print. Didn't she say earlier that she wanted a little bit of other two colors in each print?

Gotta be honest, I'm not feeling the red and white versions of this series. I tried to make myself enjoy it, cuz I already went out and bought the blue months back, but I don't think I'll be completing the series.

Just unrolled this dude. The printing on this is damn impressive! I wish more shops did intaglios. I understand why they don't but man it's awesome.
