 Yoda and Simba snuggling and napping. This happens a lot around here!

I used the frame overlay both as a base for the image so the frame would be wholly visable, and as an overlay in multiply mode on top of the cat image. The cat image layer has just the oval visable, the edges are masked. The two overlays are not lined up perfectly on purpose, to create a bit more depth. There's a touch of the urban acid color curve on the overlay frame, adds the nice bits of teal blue. I bumped the saturation down a bit with a hue/saturation layer. That's it. Here's the frame overlay, feel free to use!

That is really gorgeous. Superb processing, and the cat picture is beautiful to begin with. I think I might try that frame at some stage too, thanks.

Gorgeous! This reminds me of those collector plates they make for kitty lovers, sitting in a shadow box!

Lovely. Thank you for the frame, I want to try it. Your kittehs are too sweet, sleeping w/such innocence. The color choices are just right. Well done.
