Mom was thrilled, thank you.

Thank you for the help!

How's this?

I think that works! I'll try it.

She should be smaller too.

Here's a different picture of them that maybe helps?

I'd appreciate any tips you may have.

Anything I could do about it now?

The boy on the right is actually three inches taller than his brother leaning on the post on the left... I'm not sure what I did in posing or camera to do that, but the mom would like it fixed. Any ideas?

So leave the background flat? Does it need noise to print well?

I decided to go BW and here it is with the color fill layer masked in. What's the next step?

Here's a screenshot of my start. I added a layer on top with black sides to hide the clutter... I can remove it. I think I am done masking on the right and left sides until I get to their hair and between their faces. Is there a tip for hair... or just the awesome shift-click?

She was hoping for bigger but she knows they are small so she will be thrilled with 8x8.

Here's a 700px crop

Sadly, I have exactly what she has. I went to her house to double check. It must've gotten resized years ago but we can't get the full size now.
