Borders, Dividers, and Separators

I love to use borders, dividers and separators to dress up my lenses. Borders can break up long blocks of text to make your lens more readable. They can add a splash of color and some visual interest.

I have three lenses of borders, dividers and separators. One of them manages to get found but the other two go pretty much unnoticed. I thought if I put them all together in one place they would be easier to find and could provide you with some other options for borders, dividers and separators.

All of these lenses contain instructions on how to get the separators onto your lens.

All of these dividers are either made by me or derived from public domain sources so they are completely free to use. A link back to my lens would be nice but not mandatory. Each lens has a plexo called "Borders and Dividers in Action." You can add your lenses to show how you used Borders, Dividers and Separators.

I hope you enjoyed Borders, Dividers, and Separators 

I plan to make another lens or two with more borders, dividers and separators, as soon as I find the time. It is quite time consuming to search out the old ones and clean them up to make them presentable. I do still have some in my collection that I have not made lenses of yet so maybe I will start there!
