I think I know what you mean and have seen similar in other sets. All I have done is use whatever I can from the card. I.e cut out anything that can be stuck on other card blanks as toppers, sometimes I have been able to cut the card down to make a smaller card using part of the picture.

hello Ann,
Sorry to take so long to answer you, and thank you very much I purchased some very nice decoupage sheets from a company named Moonstone. on line, and accompanying three sheets were the beautiful scenes and also a patterned one I assumed at first they were like backing paper ,but the scenic ones which are just like normal 7x5 card but printed in such a way if folded to make a card the scene is all wrong and no way would it look right with anything attached, i.e decoupage pieces. I hope you can understand all this, all I can think is maybe make a picture instead of f card. :-S

Do you mean it is card with a scene printed on it? Have you also got other cards with objects on them that could be cut out and built up into a picture? Or have you got several cards with the same scene to combine into one picture by decoupage?
