Scalloped edges, mats, and layered trims
Scallop cut files carry the soft repeating curve that finishes an edge: scalloped circles and mats, trim strips, scalloped card panels, and designs whose outline is built from that shape. It is a quiet workhorse theme rather than a subject, so scallops mostly sit underneath other elements, matting a photo, edging a page, or adding a layer between a background and a title block. Cut a scalloped mat slightly larger than your photo in a tone that sits between your background and your focal piece and the page gains depth without adding a new subject. The curves are forgiving to cut at almost any size, which makes scallops a good filler when a layout feels flat. Pair Scallop with Frames for photo mats, with Border for page edges, or with Floral for softer feminine trims. Files ship in SVG, PNG, DXF, and JPG so they cut in Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio and print for print-and-cut projects. Free scallop files unlock with a registered account.

A scalloped edge softens the join between two layers. It is most often used to mat a photo, finish the edge of a card panel, or add a decorative strip along the top or bottom of a scrapbook page.
Scallop is the shape itself, the repeating curve, wherever it appears, including circles and mats. Border covers decorative page and card edges of any style. They overlap on scalloped border strips, so filter both when you want edging specifically.
Cut the mat roughly a quarter inch larger than the photo on every side so the scallops read clearly without crowding the image. For a double mat, step the second layer another eighth of an inch out in a lighter tone.
Yes. The curves have no sharp corners or thin connectors, so scalloped shapes weed easily in vinyl and hold their edge well. Keep small repeating scallops above roughly a quarter inch across so they stay crisp.
