Some recent interest in framing - I've always been a big fan of it myself - has caused me to think of posting this "technique" on framing multiple objects that I came up with while playing around. The plus of it is its uniqueness - the negative is the predictability.
Here's the steps.
1. Clouds, with grey and white, to taste.
2. Add noise, gaussian, monochromatic.
3. Median (I used 12) to taste.
4. Maximum (I used 23) to taste.
Either leave it grey to go with anything, or colorize it to contrast with HUE/SAT. Go to levels and slide the middle slider to the right, or play with it in Curves.
Drop in images sized to fit. That's the drawback. But it is unique, huh! Maybe someone can refine it further to make it more predictable as to outcome...

A sample adjusted slightly from above with greater Maximum settings follows:
