Thank you for purchasing an Overlay for Photoshop from Etsy!

(If you’ve found your way here and haven’t purchased it yet, you can find in in the BWPOverlay Etsy shop Here)

These overlays are extremely versatile and are a lovely way to add something a little extra special to some of your images. Below you’ll find instructions on some of the ways you can use your overlays.
Although these videos show how to use the Star Overlay, you can use the same techniques with all the Photoshop overlays I sell.

Cake Smash Decorations!

If you want to add a little something extra to the floor, here’s how I change the perspective to make it look like the stars were there all along.
