To those of you who attended WCR 2020, you got those awesome posters that Robert
@buddyv had made up. They look great and, IMO, are fully suitable for framing.
The posters are 16" wide x 20" tall. A quick trip to Michael's (or other craft store) and one 20" X 24" frame later and...

But those of you who know me and have checked my build know that I can't just do one version of anything.
So, another trip to Michael's and a bit of matting option checking later and...
It turns out they have a color called "Lemon Drop" that is a near perfect match to the yellow in the poster. If figured I'd give it a try. It makes the whole poster POP and looks great, if you ask me.

And "since I was in there", I decided to make a couple Christmas gifts for two of my fellow 914 lovers. One has a white car, the other's is orange.
These frames are 20" x 28". I painted up a couple of the WCR award silhouettes and, well, here they are. The reflection makes them hard to photograph - they look pretty cool in real life.
Anyway, if you have a WCR 2020 poster, maybe this will give you some ideas.
And if you've already done something with your poster, or if you've mounted/displayed your award, let's see some pics!

Maybe hard to tell but that's an Irish Green one in there. It's here waiting for you.
Happy Holidays, my friend.
