Abstract

A picture-frame system for securement to a flat-surface. The picture-frame system includes a first-layer defined by a first front-surface and a first rear-surface having adhesive thereon; and a second-layer defined by a second front-surface and a second rear-surface having an adhesive thereon. The picture-frame system is useful for displaying a plurality of different size/shape pictures in one picture frame.

         15 . The picture-frame system of  claim 1 , wherein the first-layer and the second-layer are square-shaped. 
     
     
         16 . The picture-frame system of  claim 15 , wherein the first-layer and the second-layer are at least 1-foot×1-foot. 
     
     
         17 . A picture-frame system for securement to a wall-surface, the picture-frame system comprising:
 a first-layer defined by a first front-surface and a first rear-surface opposite the first front-surface, the first front-surface and the first rear-surface each including an adhesive-material thereon, and wherein the adhesive-material is configured to attach one of the first front-surface and the first rear-surface to the wall-surface;   a second-layer defined by a second front-surface and a second rear-surface opposite the second front-surface, one of the second front-surface and the second rear-surface including the adhesive-material thereon, the adhesive-material configured to attach the one of the second front-surface and the second rear-surface to another one of the first front-surface and the first rear-surface, and wherein another one of the second front-surface and the second rear-surface include a decorative border;   a first protective-sheet removably attached to the one of the first front-surface and the first rear-surface and configured for removal prior to attachment of the one of the first front-surface and the first rear-surface to the flat-surface;   a second protective-sheet removably attached to the another one of the first front-surface and the first rear-surface and configured for removal prior to attachment of the at least one picture; and   a third protective-sheet removably attached to the one of the second front-surface and the second rear-surface including the adhesive-material and configured for removal prior to attachment of the one of the second front-surface and the second rear-surface to the another one of the first front-surface and first rear-surface; and   wherein the another one of the first front-surface and the first rear-surface is configured to adhesively-receive at least one picture;   wherein the adhesive-material on the one of the second front-surface and the second rear-surface is located around a periphery of the one of the second front-surface and the second rear-surface;   wherein the first-layer is made from a heat-stamped rubber-material;   wherein the second-layer is made from a rigid vinyl-material;   wherein the first protective-sheet, second protective-sheet, and third protective-sheet are made from a paper-material;   wherein the paper-material is wax-coated;   wherein the decorative-border is a painted-border;   wherein the first-layer and the second-layer are square-shaped; and   wherein the first-layer and the second-layer are at least 1-foot×1-foot.
