 Take your selection tool>use free hand, and go around one of

the flowers>selection>copy and paste to your image as a new layer

move it how and where you want. I did the same with my other one

but put a small yellow flower in there.

If you don't get every thing off then when you place it

just use your eraser tool and get rid of it. This is what I have

use the deform tool and turn them, you can mirror them also.

 I did the same thing with some leaves and added a few

here and there.

Once your happy with the way it looks

close off all the other layers except for the one with the

flowers and that and merge them, then you can move it

more if you want with out messing it up.

Open all layers

 Next copy and paste as a new layer

add drop shadow, then duplicated and moved

to another flower.

 Duplicate on of them and resize by 55% and

turn and place a couple on the small flowers.

I added a few dragonflies and resized them as

needed, add drop shadow and turn them with deform

tool, and arrange how and where you want.

 Place a button >bsd_BB_Elements (3)

Resize by 50% add drop shadow

and place at the top right hand corner, layer

duplicate mirror, and have it on the right hand corner.

You can add any thing else you like

If you are happy with every thing then

merge all layers.

On the mask layer before you merge all.

Add any wording you wish to at the top, and name.
