Artists Studio Thread, curly budgie

Not sure if this art but just an idea I had for an image:

Oh yes - that is lovely.
I would love to know how you did it, mart.
Don't suppose you use Elements, do you?

The image is four photos laying on top each other, all with varying degrees of 'page curl'. Just a case of setting it against a bacground after that and adding some shadows for extra depth. I think many art/editing programs would be capable of doing this but the image shown here was done using Xara Xtreme. This is primarily a vector drawing program but it also includes quite good bitmap (photo) editing capabilities. Some finishing was done using Corel Photo-Paint.
