Def hard to choose one but this is prob my favorite “finished” framed collection. As you can see, it’s yellow dress belle and some beast

Omg this is amazing! It all goes together so well and I love the regal frame you put it in The ACME Dancing pin is so eye-catching.
 

Amazing Toad collection! Your daughter also has an awesome L&S collection. Mine collects Ariel and I’ve definitely been focusing on that one more this year to the detriment of my other collections so I know what you mean
 
This game is a little challenging for me as I don’t really display my pins for the most part. (Wife draws the line there.) Mine are pretty much packed away in good old fashioned pin bags, ready to be pulled out and flipped through to enjoy. While most bags have a mix of themes/collections, there is one bag that is completely dedicated to just one, so I guess that one is probably my favorite - Nightmare Before Christmas.

Besides loving the movie ever since it first came out, I love how there are so many really interesting and different characters. And lots of scenes for them to be in. And then when you add in all the pins from the awesome Haunted Mansion Holiday setup...well...that explains the whole dedicated bag thing.

If it was all on display, I guess it would look something like the below.

Note that there are a couple of sad places where a pin or two from a series is missing. Always looking to trade for those if you have them!

I am unable to win a prize, but I still wanted to submit my favorite display which has all of my PODM's on it and is backlit.

You need to start a business and sell these to PODM collectors. I found it hard to narrow my collection to one for most movies. I would love to display mine - when they’re away you don’t get to enjoy them. Absolutely beautiful.
 
Ok. I gave up. Can't pick just one. This might get long winded. Lol

Once upon a time, before there was DPF, there was a little site called Dizpins. A user there named Shelkervel (maybe misspelled, it's been a long time) posted pictures of displays she'd made with pins and I was inspired! I have since made LOTS of frames - some with 1 pin, some with 15+. My thought was to eventually start a post to share a frame each day. I still haven't started that, but maybe soon. . .

So my favorite pins are characters dressed as characters. My favorite holiday is Halloween and my first pin collection was Maleficent which spread to most villains. So this display is a good cross-over for all those collections.




I also wanted to share this display. As I mentioned, I started collecting Maleficent pins and that expanded to a lot of Sleeping Beauty pins. 2 reasons I wanted to share this set: 1) The 4 backgrounds used on this display were scrapbook papers a trader included as a zap when we traded pins. They worked perfectly for this! 2) I used a mix of pins: special event, open edition, DA, gwp. While the frames tell a story, each pin has a story of its it's own. (If I can remember them all! I've been a pin trader for 18 years now.)

So here is the full display:



And here's a closer look at each. (Taking pics of pins in frames is not easy!)









If you're still reading, thanks for indulging me!

I love that paper. It is so perfect for displaying pins! And you did a great job.
 
Really nice displays.
 
That's a fun display.
 
Nice theming.
 
Here is my Peter Pan collection. I love this one because it reminds me of my mom. When I was little the only person who would ride this with me was my mom. She was so terrified of heights that this ride even had her on edge. She would sit very still and made sure I did too so as to not rock the boat. Lol. She knew how much I enjoyed this ride and would face her fears just to see me happy. I love and miss her still and this always brightens my day.

Your story was really beautiful. I love your Peter Pan collection.
 
I would love to enter but was not able to get a picture to print, my favorite set that I made is Ratatouille the 12 that were out a year or so ago and the PTD ones from DL. I just think Ratatouille is a very cute movie, I used to have pet mice as well, guess that is why I love them.
 
Well, I didn’t have any where/way to display collections in the rent house, so I’ve just started working on displaying in the new house. So, this is a work in progress. I’m using my mil’s old cedar chest with purple velvet inlay and glass top. The pins I’ve picked so far are just part of the Haunted Mansion collection I’m slowly working to grow. I have foam to cut and place under the pins to “straighten” them out, and want to add some of our HM attraction photos. I had hoped to work on it some this week, but ran out of time, so here it is “so far”.

Seeing all these displays makes me want to finish setting up a pin board, I haven’t got a 2nd setup since I had to end up disposing of the last one...
 
Thank you all so much for sharing your displays! There are some incredibly beautiful works of art here, and I got some inspiration from a lot of these (I still need to do something with my PODM collection...)

I'm ready to randomly pick winners and send prizes but @starry_solo please let me know if I'm meant to put them through or you.
 

You can run the randomizer yourself!
