Zebra Matboard ?

I found this "Elvis" image in a magazine, and I could immediately picture it as the center of a colorful collage. It came together quite easily & I love the razzle dazzle color that Elvis so richly deserves. 

But then the collage needed a mat that was "out side of the box" & I thought zebra stripe would work well. But I had never seen zebra stripe mat and neither had the artist friends that I asked.

Then recently I was in good old Hobby Lobby and spotted zebra matboard. Yes, it was a special order & yes, I had to pay a premium price for it, but it works. And this little gem is now hanging in my office.
