No students with the custom layered banners and only two with thier Pop Art pics posted. 

If you are having trouble with the banner move on to the pop art tutorial and/or the GIF.

Again please post any finised work.

Hint: To post your custom banner you must save the file as a jpeg or else blogger will not accept it.
