Hi there! I am a digital cross stitch pattern designer. Usually I know exactly how to decorate the finished project – in a frame or hoop. But with this tree I can’t decide which is better. How do you think?

I usually like frames. For example:
But there are patterns that are good for hoops:
I think that the round frame is better, it's like a prolongation of the tree where the squared frame kinda trap it inside (and the round frame is in wood so it's also a nice link with the tree)
I notice you don’t use glass and mats in your frames. How do you keep your creations, in either hoops or frames, clean? Thanks.
Hello! I do not use glass in frames only when I take photographs (so as not to reflect ☺). Then I insert glass into the frame

It also works better with the negative space leading the eye into the subject. A square frame clashes and not in a good contrasting way.
