Learning something new

I have been playing with digital images for over a year now but I keep learning new things.  I found out from my awesome DT Sisters the difference between a JPG and a PNG file is that the PNG can be layered transparently.  Really simple thing to do in Word, I actually have 3 images layered up here, the Shabby Houndstooth paper,  Old Paper set and the Cute Easter set.
I printed the torn page twice and cut it out so I could give it more dimension and I ran some Cotton Candy Stickles around the edge also.  The tag was printed in Word and cut with Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio Shapeabilities.  The card is a 5 x 7.  Well it's Thursday and you know that means Lindsay has something special and free on her blog The Frugal Crafter.  Stop by the Design Team's blogs also to see their gorgeous work.  I really admire these gals, they are always getting published and winning challenges, go see for yourself it is an awesome group.   
Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

    I just love the png files!! They are so fun to layer and that chick looks great in the paper kinda like he's busting out! Love the pink houndstooth and the nestibility you used to cut the sentiment out. Great card Diane!! Hugs, Leanne

    Oh, thanks for the tip, Diane -- I learned something new today too! Guess I'll have to do more with digis in the future! Your card is sooo pretty in pink!!! We're enjoying spring weather here (Jan. really is our spring), except for the horrible allergy symptoms that accompany it! ;~(

    Great great way of layering the png files.... I think we always learn something, tip or trick regardless of how long we've been doing it. That's the fun part.

    Love your card, so springy and that little chic is just adorable. :-)
