I really like what you did with this photo, Carole. What program did you use? I don't know how to do layers.

Shaun said...

Very creative, i like the hanging over the frame look. An excellent photo.
Have a good weekend

thanks each for your lovely comments, and to Barb's "what program did you use?" I've used Corel's PhotoImpactX3 for many years. Lassoo a segment of a duplicated photo is a matter of mouse-clicking around the portion you want to turn into an object. Then you can move it to wherever you like on the original, add a shadow if it suits, and merge. You would be able to do similarly with any other photo-editing product you might have.

I really like that! Flowers seem to lend themselves to everything the Photoshop can throw at them.

Kay said...

Beautiful Carole! Love the color and how you let the flower hang over the frame. Definitely good for a card!
