As Linda says a better cut out but a shame about the rectangle behind. Just needs blending in before you flatten the image...
Thanks - now I know what blending is used for!!

Thanks for posting the original flower pic. I have been unable to find any reference to "putting a darker image behind," either in your last PP Forum topic or on the video.

I think you may have got my pm about a contrasting layer mixed up. If you imagine the pink layer and the flower before they are flattened and you are working on cutting out the flower than you can see how it is going and if there are any edges or background that need to still go, you then get rid of the pink layer when you are happy with the flower which leaves you with your picture and no oblong behind it. My background is not as pretty as yours...
