02 – Tendrils over Center Background – Medium Purple
03 – Tendrils outside of Cartouche – Dark Plum

Tips:

1. This cartouche was originally used to display two initials, it looks great with the first initials of your favorite couple or a first and last initial for yourself! Use your favorite lettering software to add any style you like!
2. For a lighter design, eliminate the first color change and let the material show through. For a simple border only, use the final color change by itself!
