First collage attempt

[karen donnybrook]

I decided to do a 'collage' up for our daughter-in-law for Christmas. I realise I still have lots to learn but this is what I have come up with:

I really like the background -- how did you do it? A picture of some fabric? It really makes the images work and yet they all stand on their own.

Karen - great job! Is Ben the background? I see a dog in there (I think):)

Will, the background was actually a photo Aby (daughter-in-law) sent me of Ben climbing through a play tunnel. All I did was clone over Ben with some of the wall colours.

Ray, apparently Ben loves cupboards and like you I think it is a great photo.

Thank you all for your comments.

Mary, I presume you a referring to Ben coming in the 'doggy' door. Yes we do have a small dog and she was very confused when Ben climbed into HER bed :rolleyes: .

Our son was actually holding the doggy door open for Ben but I took out his hand and feet :D
