So after fruitless searches, I somehow combined the right search words and your wonderful post showed up. Thank you so much!

That tip alone will save me some time! <br /><br />I was going to ask you how you put the words on the side but I just went into pic monkey and figured it out myself. It never occurred to me to try that before.Cathyhttp://ilovemychi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12565507.post-51350082778877849042015-01-09T17:20:50.709-05:002015-01-09T17:20:50.709-05:00awesome, so helpful!!

PicMonk...That isn't at all a stupid question! <br /><br />PicMonkey has changed the sidebar icons since I created this tutorial. I updated the post with a new screenshot to highlight the overlay button (which is not a butterfly). Even though the icons have been updated, the main sections are the same, and they are in the same order in the sidebar. <br /><br />You do not need to sign up for royal to use overlays in general, but (as with all sections of PicMonkey) there will be some overlays that do require it. Royal is around $30 for a year's subscription, and I think it is worth it to get the extra options, but you can do a LOT of great things without it if that money isn't in your budget right now.

Now I think I'm going to go back over all my posts, redo them, and re-pin them. I'll bet I'll get a LOT more pins with greatly improved graphics. I just did my first one last night on a post about organizing photos and I'm so proud of it! Thanks for sharing.
