    Credits: Music Paper (recolored) - (Syndee Nuckles     Scrap Girls); Piano PSP Tube (unknown)

    Technique:When I made the piano graphic, I purposely resized the music paper, rather than just select a 3" portion of the original, so that the design would be smaller. I then added the piano and the image gives more contrast than if both music papers had the same size design.
