Abstract: A user-configurable template assembly for aligning a plurality of pictures or other objects on a surface comprising a plurality of elongate guide members and a plurality of connector members. Each connector member is configured to engage an end of one or more guide members and maintain the plurality of guide members in an orthogonal array. The template array is ideally configured to align commonly sized pictures in a decorative manner. The guide members and connectors incorporate standardized interface connections providing interchangeability in parts and maximizing template array assembly options.
