3. CORNERS

Bring up the Image30 Corners, Copy and Paste it as a New Layer onto your image.
Shift it down into the bottom right corner fitting exactly


Click OK

Duplicate that Merged Layer

Now shift the two squares - take care when shifting the cutout to grab the shadow area.
They are now roughly in the centre - the overlap is centre

4. ADDING THE LADIES

Open cdw-Morgan-Le-Faye.psp
Copy and Paste as a New Layer - She should be below the corners as we just shifted the squares.
Lower the Opacity to 25 and shift her over to the Left side with her eye fitting in the little corner section.


Open Amazonia_MichaelHideux_MistedByGini_02-24-06.tub
Copy and Paste as a New Layer - Make sure you copy the girl layer and not the text
Resize by 80% and Sharpen
Move her over to the Right side and sitting on the bottom - she should also be behind the corners.

5. MORE CORNERS

Now open the ads_corners14.pspimage
Copy Raster Layer 3 which is the bottom left one in the group
Paste as a New Layer onto our image
Flip Horizontal and place it in the top right corner fitting the stem just under the edge of the green corner
