I know this is an old tutorial but I thought I'd try it and show the results. I too used a dog photo seeing as I have so many of them - dogs and photos!

Michelle, that is done so well! How adorable.
Thanks Judy. I'm browsing old tutorials because we're almost at our download linit and I'm not allowed to download anything until after next Friday. Also it's over 100 degrees f here so it's too hot to do anything else!
