Now the color is looking much better.
Next we want to apply a shadow so it doesn't look like our baby is hanging out in midair. Photoshop Elements has several styles of drop shadows in the Styles and Effects palette, but this is not what we want. A drop shadow would make it look as if our baby was a flat object floating just off the surface of the page. We want a soft, cast shadow that will serve to anchor the baby and pumpkin to an imaginary "floor." We're going to paint the cast shadow from scratch.
In the layer's palette, rename "Layer 1" to "baby". Then click the new layer button, name this layer "shadow" and drag it below "baby."
