The making of...

Credit: This "home-made" greeting card was created for my brother's family. The 2 images are used under Creative Commons license, courtesy of Wikimedia Commons on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_new_year

Original photo by: Formulax I mirrored this image side-by-side and used the resultant landscape picture as background of the card design.
	Original photo by: Fanghong A "cut-out" of this was overlaid with drop shadow, after adjusting the color balance to minimize color temperature disparity.
Finally, a cropped section of a image from a "red envelop" was blurred, and used as page backdrop.

The background music is Flower Drum Song (2:10) -- a popular traditional song for Chinese New Year.
