Dave- I use Photoshop for putting these together. I will process them all in Lightroom, then I send them to PS. I'll generally take the one I want in the middle and increase the canvas size of that one to about 3 1/2 times wider the original, and a bit taller as well; and with a white background. I then copy and paste each of the others in as a layer, and move them about to where I want them. I then crop the final image and send it back to LR.

How do you assemble these, Jim?

Paul - yes time flies. Perhaps just as bad an indicator is that my oldest grandson got his learners permit to drive yesterday.
As for the 8 year old, she is pretty bright, and is just working with what she has learned through 2nd grade. If she takes the time, which she did here, I think she has some natural talent.
While it is fun to watch them grow up -- watching them grow older means we are too. But that is life.

Wow is she 8 already, my how time flies! Tell her 2 thumbs up from me for her artistic efforts. Is she naturally gifted and taking art/craft classes? Paul
