what I did for my page is used the quick selection tool and made a duplicate of the leaves I used the rectangular marquee tool and went around the frame and duplicated it this ment these objects were as normal elements so allowed me to place items under them another way would be to lay new elements on top and mask them out and earase the bits you did not want showing, Hope it helps
What's that you say? A quickpage to help us save time? Oh, well I'll just send some time with the quick selection tool... On an unrelated note - she is one today! Crazy talk.
Definitely not a quick page user, so you challenged me here Thanks! https://the-lilypad.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=180432&title=happy&cat=500
