Instructions:

5.  Move photo(s) into desired position.  Resize and rotate photo if desired.

6.  In layer palette on right side of screen, select photo layer, click and drag each down beneath template. The photo(s)
    will now appear as if they were cut to fit the frame(s) exactly!  Note: if some frames are overlapping, you may need 
    to move one of the photos beneath the other in the layer palette, so they are appropriately stacked.
