For Valentine Day, I ran the script on a heart filled with gingham. That created a full mat. Then, using the starting shape, I trimmed an inside area to create a frame. Then, I ran the script on the sized down shape, I added some fibers on the inside and included a stitching (from a Styled Line). Three elements you can use in different ways.
