Oh thanks sweetie you are THE BEST! *hugs you* I really appreciate you doing this. And yes I do have a Mac. I'll take a look at those tutorials the first thing in the morning. because I have no experience with layers I just don't know where to begin.

How did you get that rose in the picture that you put over Buffy's face? Because you must have had 2 layers there, right?

Actually no, I went into Textures and the Own Textures option to chose the rose photo from my computer. I did the same thing with the Buffy/Spike images with a rose for debris4spike's bday gift, and also this:



I used the image of The First as Buffy from Sleeper as a "texture" behind the image of Buffy in Faith's dream. (I was just lucky I think that it aligned correctly.) It's no different to using a photo of a pattern inside a yogurt jar:


So using images as textures has been my way of "cheating" but it obviously has limits. For instance, if I want to do more than two images in a single picture, or I want to cut out part of an image.
