Yes it is a small kit and the frame come with it.

Yes, I agree. I have ordered these before and they always come with the frame and cardboard backing.

Yes, it does come with a small frame and backing. I followed the instructions, finished it and started another one with a 14 count aida cloth. It turned out really nice. I add ribbon to the frames and backing to the frames. They both are pretty.

Yes all of these little ornament kits that picture a frame will have the frame included. They are usually plastic but i think this web site offers more decorative frames in this mini size. the frames are usually very very easy to use. I've done tons of them! great for gifts!
