photoshop mommies - my baby's first bday invite - need help!

OK, so I've worked literally all weekend on this thing!!! - can you tell me what I can do to smooth the edges around her cutout? Also any other advice appreciated - I'm planning on cleaning up the photos on top - the ribbon on the balloon is driving me crazy too - I want it to reach her hand, but couldn't find an appropirate shape...

Updated with a new version- still not happy with the cut out- but I think this is where my skills are at their limit and I'm running out of time! Let me know what you think!

Thanks!

You can use the eraser but drop down the hardness on it.

Very cute invite. What if you played with the blur tool to soften up the cutout?

Can you stretch the ribbon curl until it reaches her hand... even if it overlaps the balloon?

Thanks both of you for your input. Updated with a new version.

If you're going to put a pink line (border) between each pic on the top, make sure you're putting it next to every picture. Try using the magnifying glass to enlarge the area by the left side of her head. There is some stuff that needs to be deleted by her head and if you magnify it, it will be easier to erase.


Other than that...it looks good.

Eta: The balloon needs to be cleaned up a bit too...

Sorry...I'm anal...
