I gave the curtain a lace pattern (swatch shown below). I took a rose from another tea set (shown below),and added it to the blank spot on the teapot, giving it gold leaves to fit in with its new surroundings. I took tea from another tea set (shown below), and put it inside the empty teacups. I also moved the cups closer to the teapot, so that they overlap some. I shortened the spout to make room for the text. Digitally illustrated the "upholstery" pattern in the background.

The client wanted to produce gift bags with an Easter basket photo on them. Their existing stock photo was too drab. I added different eggs and jellybeans, and placed a bow and ribbon on the handle. The handle goes in and out of focus, so I matched the focal effect on the bow and ribbon.

The client wanted a more attractive bow on this wreath. I used pieces from the old bow to create the new bow. I removed the hook, mail slot, and doorknob.

The client wanted a lavender background for these candles. I adjusted the background green color, then separately adjusted the color showing through the base of each flame. I touched up all edges to remove green discoloration that could be seen after changing the background to lavender.
