Hey Mom2, very well done!! I really like the blocks and the butterfly on the rose is beautiful! Wanna learn how to cut pictures out of pictures?? Take any picture you want, and use your selection tool, (this one ) set at either Point to point or smart edge. I like the smart edge for something that does not have alot of background to it. right click to start and keep what you want to cut out in between the box. Point to point is really good with alot of background, because it will stay in line with your subject, you just click alot more.. Ollie  hee hee!! You SAID you wanted to know how I did the bird pics.

Mom2,  Those blocks are wonderful.  Looks 3D.  I like the multi flowers one too.

My screen is so dark I can barely tell there is a reflection.  I have tried everything to lighten it but even with brightness and contrast all the way to 100%, it is still awful.  Can't even make out colors of folk's birds.  Anyone know what could be done to fix it?
