Question
Hi,
I am not sure if this is a question that you can answer for me or not.  Can you tell me how to make Birthday invitations using Adobe Photoshop?  I would like to make some for my daughter's B-day but have no idea how.  I have used Adobe Photoshop a little bit but to be honest with you I am not too familiar with it.  I want to make an invitation that has a picture on it of her B-day theme (which would be My Little Pony) and possibly some sort of background and also the party info on it.  Does that make sense?  Can this even be done in Adobe Photoshop?  If so where do I find the image?  I looked under "images" in Google search but all I came up with is a picture of a My Little Pony.  How do I get a background of something like trees, grass, flowers etc. to go behind the pony?
If you could help me I would greatly appreciate it.  Also, is there maybe an easier program for doing all of this?
Thanks!
Jen

Answer
Hi Jen,
if you know how to use layers that will help you a lot,
i will advice you to use image or clip art as the background before you type the text on the top layer. If you can use Layer style effect on the text that will make a great difference.
