Newspaper Collage

My best art definitely comes from mixing handmade art with photos. Continuing with creating collages in PSE, I pasted together a page of colours and text that I had cut from newspapers to use as a background.  Nothing special:

I then took 5 pictures of birds, 'cut' their shapes from the newspaper collage using the clipping mask, placed them on top and changed the colours.  I then did various blending and effects and these are the result:

Man, I had so much fun and then I took the background again and just used it with 1 bird:

Methinks I've only just started using this background......
