Very pretty! I love how Mandala designs look!


What I would suggest, a quick and easy way to crop is just to take the picture, open in paint and crop it that way.

I prefer myself to open my copy of CS5 photoshop and crop that way since it doesn't involve actually moving the picture around (like paint would). I use photoshop for all pictures of myself before I post to the internet, and resizing.

Most of my digital pictures come out GIGANTIC. So generally photoshop and their lovely transform tool lets me resize it down to a mere 1/16th fraction of the size.

(I really don't get why my digital camera makes it so big o.o;;;;)
