Sometimes you might not want all of the corners to meet up with each other and would prefer an Alternating Corner approach.
Traditionally, a design like this would require a specialized Template or editing it in Trace.
Now with the introduction of the #112: Ornamental template and the existing #106: Mixed template, you can now make this with a few simple clicks.
Click New Mat Design on the FrameShop Main Page.
Click Cancel on the New Openings Screen.
On the Openings Tab, bring the template #112: Ornamental or the #106: Mixed onto the Editor.
NOTE: Selecting different Templates and adjusting their Parameters will give you an unlimited range of creative options.
Click on the Properties Tab.
Enter the desired size for the Ornamental opening and any other adjustments you wish to make.

Under Number of Layers, set the desired number of layers.
For this example, we used 5 Layers.
We’re going to select the desired Template for each layer.
Select #202 4 Octagon In for the top layer.
Select #406 Grecian for the next layer.
Select #402 Classic for the next layer.
Select #604 Taos for the next layer.
Select #604 Taos for the last layer.
From here, you can click on Parameters and adjust them as desired.
For this example, we changed the Parameters for the top layer so that the outer corner opening is hidden.
A-D: Enter 1
On the Middle layer, change the Radius to .75.
The Alternating Corners Deco design is done.
NOTES:
You can repeat this process to use any templates together.
You can also adjust the Template’s Parameters which will give you endless creative options for your creative abilities.
Remember: Have fun!
Here are a small sample of different Alternating Corners Deco designs along with what Templates were used to create them.
