That is a dilemma for me too!!!  Usually I don't use them for that reason, but if I do I usually glue it down in a corner and then cover that spot with a bow or some other embellishment.  I've sewn them on before, too.  I'm curious to see what others have done!

We've had a thread or two like this before, and most have said that they use some regular adhesive here or there and put an embellishment over the adhesive,  or maybe staple, use brads, etc.

I had a vellum adhesive by Thermo-Web that worked on some of my overlays but I haven't been able to find it again. I bought the Scrapbook adhesives e-z runner for vellum but haven't tried it on an overlay yet - just vellum. I have used brads or staples in the past for overlays too.
