Make sure that the invert mask data is also checked. Click okay. Now put your cursor in the middle and flood fill with your background pattern.

Now click back on your image 3. Again this is the copy you made of the fairy on the bench tube. Copy and past that as a new layer on your background. Now go to your layer palette and drag this layer to the top. |
