Shape & Color Options

As I complete your orders & build my shop many options for color choices will be featured.
At this point, when you submit your order we will work together to identify your style. This will help in the creation of your personalized design.

For a simply timeless option you may choose to forgo all color options and order a black and white only design.

You will also have the choice of surrounding your silhouette with the following shapes:

Oval - This is the traditional look of silhouette prints.

Circle

Square

Rectangle
