That's gorgeous. I really like the way you did the lanyard hole. As for the pictures, I think the idea of a composite picture is nicer (although the pink is a little over the top) but the individual pictures provide more detail because the insets are quite small on the composite.

how about blue with bigger insets?

:eek: :eek: :eek: I sure wish i knew how to do that. That looks great, I'm going out i a bit to get different backgrounds but i think i need to learn to change the BG's like you did. :D
 
Using photoshop, I took the three individual pictures, cut them out using the lasso tool, deleted the white backgrounds with the ivy, placed them on a blue background I had created, then resized and moved them around until I had them where I wanted them. I added the circles with bevels around the insets, and a fake shadow to the central knife, then put a border around the whole thing and stuck your name on the bottom.

Easy if you've done it enough times :D
