First Collage..

This is my first collage. I have an old Microsoft picture it for these...yes..outdated but I have to pick my battles for equipment sometimes! Plus it's pretty easy...anyway, the families loved them..let me know what you think.

very nice, its something you think you see on a wall on someone home.

#2 is my favorit.

Collages are so addicting. I scrapbook 12 x 12 inch layouts using pictures I have taken and no page ever looks the same and theres so many free kits out there for using for the backgrounds.
Now on the mask thing you can always erase the parts you dont want on there if you did not know that. I am not familiar with your program and if it will do that or not.
I use PSP 8.10 and PSPX1 which I recently got and its more based for photographers so I really love it much cheaper than PS for around 99 unless its a upgrade then 69.00 or I think I am saying that right.

Great JOB on the layout.

There are some clear frames that are plexi glass that you hang on the wall with ribbons that are nice for this type of picture.
I know in office depot they have them for signs in a 8 x 10 size but in the scrapbook stores you can find them in 8x8, 10 x 10 or even 12 x 12 size.

I am not normally a fan of collages but you pulled this off pretty well. I like that fact that they are not overly cluttered with pictures. Sometimes people try to put too much into one collage.
