So, we decided to create a Facebook Contest/Challenge to get you trying this out and...

Here’s a few shots that Becky VanPeeren posted from our Digital Creation’s Club. She did a great job creating these portraits and took the time to plan before the actual shot. This made the final image look flawless and you would never know it was a Digital Background Set..
