Someone throws some loose change onto the table, covering portions of the picture. This is the effect that Border Stamp tries to emulate, and extremely effectively at that.

You can even control the density of the change or object on the photo, as well as the size, margin, and border width. Clicking the browse button takes you to an incredible list of objects that can be applied to the image. The Edge section lets you ad some pretty cool border effects on the fly.
