If you cant find one, they are simple to make. 1) buy a larger than you need oval frame 2) buy some thick white (or whatever color) cardstock( larger than the size of your print) 3) Cut a whole in the cardstock for your opening for your print 4) cut the 'outside' of the cardstock to fit in your oval frame Easy way to do this would be to take out the backing of the frame, and trace onto the cardstock for cutting the outline. Then, on the back of the cardstock, trace your print and cut out your opening. I hope this makes sense, it really is pretty simple to do, and can be very inexpensive, plus, you'll get the satisfaction of doing it yourself!!
