[creative brainstorming advice needed for paint.net project]

Thanks for the tips, here's what I have so far......

I'm wondering if the upper-left image is too light and if there may be a better way to make it look like its part of the background. I gausssian blurred the edges a bit, then used the "rotate/zoom" to make it have same perspective as the text in the background, then i set the layer properties to "overlay" and set opacity to "120"

Should I add another pic to the upper-right and have it blend into the background like the one on the left side?, or is the one enough? Also, I'm wondering if I should right-align the text to the lower right side?

Ideas? :idea: Praise? Criticism?

I found the background here... http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1080102

The font is "english" and is found found here... http://www.dafont.com/english.font

Thanks.

PS.....I really love the "SOFTEN PORTRAIT" PLUGIN!!

Whoever made it.....THANK YOU!!

WARNING - Religious Images and content are contained in this post

I teach a sunday school class at church and they gave me a boring white binder, and i want to spruce it up a bit, but i am having designer's block. So I thought maybe some input from this creative crowd would help.

My original idea was to take one of the pics and put a white oval vignette around it with some fancy text under it. But I think there is more that can be done.

The theme or message i want to convey is how important children are to Jesus Christ. Also maybe add some pics or headshots of the kids I teach? Maybe some fancy text for a quote or something?

I am looking for some creative input and/or advice on how best layout or blend or something, using some or all of the pics shown below.

Any input would be appreciated.

Also, I do own each of these pics. I don't want a Howto (unless a suggestion is overly complicated). I'm not trying to convert anyone or start any religious debate either. I just have a paint.net project that has religious content and I'm looking for some creative feedback.

(that should make the "god-like" :shock: admins happy)

PS....I've done some of the tutorials in this forum, which has really helped me to learn paint.net.
