Now go back to the veggie
tubes again, but this time carefully place the veggies at 50%
where you would like to see them. We aren't going to distort these.
Viola! We have an original looking piece of art going on here.
Let's set our work off nicely. Copy this as a new image and minimize
that new image. We'll use it in a minute.
Go back to your artwork. Make sure your color palette has two colors not part of your image. I chose white and dark purple. Add 10 border purple, then 10 white. Repeat both. Now click on the first white border with the magic wand. Click on your flood tool. Change it from Solid color to Pattern. Pick the copied image of your artwork as the pattern. Flood fill that first white. Leave it selected. Go to Image/Effects/Inner Bevel. Choose the preset of Frame. Say ok.

Now do the same steps for the other white border. Now click on the first purple border with the magic wand. Use the color picker to pick a nice color from your artwork. I chose a light orange from one of the peppers. Remember to change your flood tool to Solid Color and flood fill this border. Then while still selected, go too Image/Effect/Inner Bevel. Use the same setting as before. Now go to the second purple border. Pick another pretty color from your art work. I chose the green from the peas. Do the same with this border as with the other purple one.

Viola! You have made a very pretty piece of artwork! You didn't go nuts, didn't pull out any hair, didn't bite off your nails. Hopefully you said, "Wheeeeeeeeeeee!" a few times during this lesson.
