This is really lovely! What program are you using? I am sure one of us might be able to figure out how to tell you to add the border...

Ok what I do is...
Select the thing I want to add a border to, with the selection wand. Sometimes its easier to select the empty space around it, and then invert the selection to be just around the item.
Then make a new layer.
Expand my selection by about about 10-20 pixels (larger or smaller depending on how much border I want).
Fill that selection with my desired border color (on the new layer, not on your photo or element layer).
Then drag the new border layer under the photo or element you wanted a border around. It should peek out the number of pixels you expanded it.
I hope this is clear!

This is very elegant...the pearls in the layout go so well with the candle. Wonderful layout.

Elegant is also the first thing I thought when I saw this. I hope youŽll use DanaŽs tutorial on something else though. The pearls alone are so lovely it would be a shame to change it or add anything to it.
