    One time while I was out on the road I saw a licensed plate frame that was very clever it had a cat molded or sculptured into couple of the corners. The cat was small and it was part of the frame in a couple corners molded into the frame. Do you have anything like that?

    I'm looking for metal with raised mountains. Would love the saying "the mountains are calling and I must go". Do you offer this? Thanks
