Hi Bill! I didn't follow any guides or anything I just made stuff up as I went along, but here is my best explanation for I how I made this. I first took the regular image of the folor and put it into PS. Inside PS I adjusted the canvas so it would be twice as big going towards the right. I then selected the flower and fliped it horizontaly and placed it into the blank area next to the original flower. I then slected out the center of the picture and erased the BG. Fine tuned the petals and such. I then Adjusted the canvas agian so it would have a one inch border all the way around. I then made a slection to cover the are for the flowers picture frame. Filled that layer with white and repeated it for the second side. See where I'm going???? I can't remember exactly what I did but with a little fooling this will get you there. :)

I would love to see it with a shadow under the petals breaking out of the frames.

Agreed, it will give it more depth

Thanks all I'm glad you liked it I'm going to post a re edit with the correction to the shadow under the petals. I was wondering about that, and you guys confirmed my thoughts. Thanks!!!!!
