All right, so I'll go ahead and switch over to this grassy border file which is called foliage.jpeg, and then I'll right-click inside the image window with the Rectangular Marquee tool and I'll choose the Duplicate Layer command, and then I'll set the Destination Document to my work in progress which is called Dangerously spiky corners.psd and I'll click OK.
