However, I really don't want to spend $280 for it right now. Does anyone know of anything else that does this or can anyone explain how to do this with other software?
You have Photoshop? You can do that rather easily and with much more flexibility. Maybe you can download some actions presets to Photoshop to create frames just while you are starting to learn...
But if i were you i would spend that money learning the best software, which is Photoshop. Don't think i helped in your case, though.

I can explain how to do those frames, but it would take a good amount of time. You can see more here: http://www.photoshoproadmap.com/Photoshop-blog/2009/01/03/30-beautiful-photo-frames-and-borders-photoshop-tutorials-brushes-and-actions/
