how to combine 2 photos.

I thought you all might enjoy seeing how I combined 2 photos to create this double page spread.  I actually dont use photoshop for this sort of thing, but use this really old scrapbook program that is very easy for simple minded folks like me to use.  I just cut and paste the images and combine them on the program.  I can change the colors and add elements until I get the photo as close as possible to the final drawing.
