The following sequence illustrates how the effect was created with 3 photographs and custom graphics. I substituted a Florida sunset photo instead of the sun to improve the overall layout.
Step 1: The photo of two palm trees cropped 3-1/2″ x 2.0″:

Step 2: The limousine company logo graphic was added next:

Step 3: A green graphic to simulate grass was used across the bottom:

Step 4: The pink sunset photo overlay blends in to the palm tree photo:

Step 5: Next, the towncar photo hides the floating palm tree effect:

Step 6: The name, phone, and other details completes the look:
