Ultimately I want something that will more represent my product theme of 'The Kissing Game'. So I'm thinking there should be some lovey dovey flowers or something (as compared to a burning trash can). I'm choosing these from my thousands of Photos.com images.

Drag in one of the images after you open it with the moVe tool.

Be aware of the layer order because you're probably going to have to move it around.

Here is what it looks like with all of our background layers turned off.

The red flower should provide an appropriate theme or direction for us. Try changing blending modes on your two model actors to see what might work. Often with blending modes you'll find a few options that will work. You can also change the blending modes of the flower layer and maybe do a color underlay fill on the original background layer.

I'm just continuing to try out different blending modes. See; you get to see me in the actual design process itself (these tutorials were created live!)

A cursive font would seem to make more sense for the 'Kissing' line. Unfortunately this is about as elegant I can get with my limited default font collection. It's all about options...and I'm not doing to good in the font's area but this will work good for now.

Keep trying different things out to get the exact look that you're looking for. Remember you can create custom adjustment layers through the method that I teach in the full TutorialKey Photoshop CS training and these other tutorials. I'm trying to find the right balance of color on the two characters.
