Calico Creations #2, I masked the background to isolate the birds.
Using several layers I blended scanned calico fabric onto the nuthatch photo.
I drew leaves and created the new background.

  Wow! Impressive job on both ends! Nuthatches are my husbands favorite birds, but they are so hard to catch sitting still. Great job!
