I'm making an altered clipboard/frame for my graduating SIL & BIL. SIL is DH's youngest sibling & only sister. He'll be going into the army after graduation. He was in the Corps at A&M, so the theme of the clipboard is Army. I've painted it forest green, which is the closest I had to army green. Which of these photos should I use?

BIL in Corps Uniform

The Hug after he proposed

The actual proposal

I asked SIL to email me a picture of BIL in uniform, but I discovered I had these pictures after she emailed. Remember part of the picture goes underneath the clip, which is why I'm hesitant to use the actual proposal pic.

THey should be resized down, please let me know if they are still huge.

How cool! They are sized down and look good. Since it is for both of them I think the hug after the proposal would be great. That is an amazing photo!

I would say proposal as well. BUT, if it ends up under neath the clip, than I would go with the hug picture as the back up.

The original of the proposal picture is totally hazy and needs retouching.

I like the proposal picture too but if you don't want to use it then go with the hug.

Don't throw things at me, but I decided to go with just BIL because It's the best photo in quality of the three. The hug picture is cropped, and it didn't look as good when I found the original. But now the question is do I put his first name or last name??
