Awesome idea!!! They look so cool!
The only think I'd probably do differently is get rid of the phrase in the middle, but that is just a personal preference. I think it takes away from the characters and isn't really necessary.

A suggestion from the critical eye who has yet to frame any of his pins:
1. The idea is flawless. Love, love, love the B&W with just a little colored in
2. The title is distracting. Maybe use waltograph font if you're sold on having it(message me if you would like that file/font). Leaving it out may be an option too.
3. The left side, above and below Lilo and Stitch, looks a little empty(especially if you eliminate the title). Would enlarging the stitch pic look ok, or would it look too big compared to the others?
4. If you take out the title, consider highlighting the palette pin. Ideas include, an all B&W easel or one with a "splash" of color, and this could be in the same size as the other characters and centered, or a giant easel with the palette pin in the corner and all the characters on the canvas.
When I reread this post I seem very critical, but in all honesty I think this is one of the most original and creative frames I've seen. keep up the good work.
Joey!

That is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Thank you so much for the comments. I'm trying to find today and easel that will fit in the center. I'm undecided if I should "frame out" each picture with the mat which would provide more "equality" or just leave it alone. I'm using a white background with a black mat on top. I'm going to use small borders to avoid the black overtaking the picture. The title words are GONE!!! I thought they looked bad but needed to hear it too. I'll post the finished product when I get it matted and framed.
I'm going to try to photo and post some of my other frames this week so keep checking. Thank you all for the kind words, ideas are sometimes hard to come by. And yes, I will gladly share any of my backgrounds. I have hundreds. The hardest part of this project was matching the colors. I used the colors on the end of the brush, but any color in the brush would work. I wish I was an artist, but I'm not, but I can use my computer fairly well. I have another sketch series that I'm working on and hope to have it done soon.

That sounds like it might be a nice additional touch.

This is amazing. Wow. Wow. Wow! You ARE artistic. When I grow up, I hope I can come up with something 1/2 as awesome to frame my pins!!!
Annette, the only reason I can come up with ideas is that that I decided a LONG time ago to never grow up
I always say you can't stop growing old, but you never have to grow up. Kinda goes with the Disney thing I think (LOL).

Other than everyone else's #1 criticism (title) I like the idea. I think that one idea of what would have made it more authentic would be to place it directly on an art canvas rather than framing, though I can't think of a way to actually implement that.

Stunning!!
Oh, I just love it!!! I think your idea of matting them all separately would bring it to the next level (if that's the term -- like, framing them in matte separately instead of having the single sheet of paper with white space).
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing!
I tried that, but the canvas got hung in the printer and it took nearly an hour to get it free. SO........that's why the framing. I do have canvas looking paper that I'm printing the pictures on so it will sort of look like canvas.
