The second lets you add a custom scalloped border around an existing image or piece of clipart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll also show you how a simple change from a solid circle to a stroked circle can completely change the finished look of your scallops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1: Create Scallops Using a Dashed Stroke<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For our first method, we\u2019re starting with something really simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of manually drawing dozens of circles around the outside, we can actually use Affinity\u2019s stroke settings to do most of the work for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start by Adding a Stroke<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, add a stroke around your text or shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, inside the Stroke panel, change your regular solid stroke to a dashed stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, it\u2019s going to look like exactly what it sounds\u2026like a dashed line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this is where we can start manipulating the settings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turn Your Dashes Into Circles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By adjusting the dash, gap, stroke width, and cap settings, you can transform those little dashes into rounded circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue adjusting the settings until the circles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are the size you want<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sit closely together<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the entire outside edge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create the appearance of a continuous scalloped border<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re technically still working with a stroke, but visually, those rounded dashes look like individual scallops surrounding your design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes it incredibly easy to experiment with the size and spacing until you get the look you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 2: Add Scallops Around Existing Clipart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But what if you aren\u2019t working with editable text or a vector shape?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you already have a PNG or piece of clipart and want to give that a scalloped border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s where the second method comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this technique, I upload my finished image into Affinity and create one circle using the Ellipse Tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I position that circle along the outside edge of the artwork and then duplicate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And duplicate it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I continue duplicating and positioning those circles until they completely surround the outside of the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Move the Circles Behind Your Artwork<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your circles are in place, move them behind the original image in the Layers panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now only the outer portions of those circles are visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And suddenly\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You have a scalloped border!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because you\u2019re placing the circles yourself, this method also gives you a lot of control over exactly where the scallops appear around irregularly shaped clipart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solid Scallops vs. Hand Drawn Scallops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I also show you two different ways to style the circles because they create very different finished looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 1: Solid Fill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave the circles with a solid fill and place them behind your artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives you a bold, clean scalloped edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 2: Stroke Only<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a completely different look, turn the circle\u2019s fill off and use only the stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once those outlined circles are layered behind your artwork, you get a much lighter scalloped effect that can work beautifully with doodle, sketchy, or hand drawn designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the style I demonstrate with the clipart in the tutorial, and I love how it complements artwork that already has that imperfect illustrated feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Scallop Method Should You Use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It really depends on what you\u2019re starting with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re creating text or vector shapes inside Affinity, the dashed stroke method is fast, adjustable, and incredibly easy to customize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re working with an existing PNG or piece of clipart, manually placing circles gives you much more control over how the border follows the artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And once you understand both techniques, you can choose whichever one makes the most sense for each design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes a small detail is all it takes to make a design feel completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scalloped borders are simple, but they add just enough extra personality to make text and clipart feel more playful and finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now you have two different ways to create them in Affinity, whether you\u2019re building your artwork from scratch or adding the effect to an image you\u2019ve already created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Join Crystal\u2019s Crafties Design Club<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a
