do not have the clear outline around them that stickers have and they
are more finely detailed in many cases. Also, they are not raised.
They can be applied to almost any flattish surface, so really they can be used in cardmaking or off-the-page projects as well.
Small Warning! Once they are stuck down, they are almost impossible to remove without scratching hard, so do be sure you have found the right place for them before applying them or your project surface may be marred.
