G'day to all, a question for the inkscape guru's. Just wondering how to fit an image to the rectangle with rounded corners  that you create, as a border for the waterslide decals, if that makes sense. I see some builds on here where the image fits perfectly to the border with rounded corners, do you simply cut away the small piece of image that sticks out on each corner of the border that is left when placing a rectanglular image with right angled corners underneath the box with rounded corners or is there a way to fit the image to the shape that you  have created. I hope that this makes sense to someone, thanks, Matt

Take your rounded boarder and drag it over the top of the graphic you want to "crop" to match the size/shape of your border.

Select both the graphic and the border

Then select: Object>Clip>Set

The graphic should be cropped with the shape of your border

There are probably other ways to do this but it works for me
