There is only one rule for ACEO; the size must be 2-1/2” x 3-1/2”, which is the size of a standard sports trading card.
Every interest and subject is represented.They are affordable, highly collectible works of art that can be traded, collected in an album as a unique coffee table book, displayed on an easel, framed individually or as a group within one frame and hung on the wall as traditional art.
The only limitation on ways to display ACEO is your imagination.
