Without a link to the actual pin to see what's going on, it took a little detective work but it seems to just be a Pinterest glitch maybe stemming from a glitch that originated on Zazzle's end.

It looks like the pin is for the Rembrandt invite by another designer (who isn't necessarily the one who made the pin) and that it's part of a Collection where they've made a custom collection image that is included on the product page. You can see in your screenshot that the thumbs shown on Pinterest are of the Rembrant invite, with the third one down circled in red being the Collection image.

The first thumb however, and thus the first main pin image, is a custom cover image you made for your own Flamenco invite.

If you search up the Rembrandt invite on Zazzle, your Flamenco invite image is not there in the thumbs on the product page. It's possible it was there though as a glitch on Zazzle's end at whatever point in the time the pin was made. Who knows. It's a "rich" pin, pulling a price and product thumbs from Zazzle, so I am convinced this is was just a glitch that your image got in there, I don't think whoever made the pin intentionally used your unrelated image somehow, don't think it's even possible they could have made it appear in the pin this way even if they wanted to.

I'd just ignore it but if it bothers you, you could just comment on the Pin (users are notified off Pin comments) that hey, hi, you may want to delete & re-pin this as the images are messed up ... Something to that effect that's totally non-accusatory.

Affiliates create collections with themes sometimes, and that collection will appear in their store because that's how the system works presently. It is perfectly legit. I have previously asked for the curators 'store' aspect of these 'curated collections' to be removed so the curator isn't inadvertently receiving credit for designs they did not create as it is not obvious to customers that the store owner is not the designer. But no change that I am aware of as yet.

Thank you, CreativeLeahG. We looked for the invitation in her collections but didn't see it any place.

LOL thank you for your great detective work, ColsCreations! We also looked through their Zazzle Collection and the related Pinterest pins and didn't find any sign of our invitation, so we just ignored it.  

Thank you both for assisting looking into this! XOXO
