They're a definitive improvement on the last lot (not that those weren't good) and I agree, I love the sepia toning (100yrs aged newspaper). I use PSP as well and find it easy to improve with tutorials.
Have you tried any blending? It would probably be the next step I'd advise to someone learning to wallpaper. Listen to me talking as if I actually know something!
Erm, some tutorials are... if I can find them again that is.
As for blending, I tend to use the erase tool whereas most people use the select and delete one. A friend of mine did a blending tutorial for me and I'll see if she still has it so I could send you it. As for my way, I use the eraser on circle on 0 sharpness (understanding so far? If not, have a look at the toolbar across the top when you click on the erase button). Then I just erase out background very carefully and leave what I want left. Then I place one image over the top so they look blended.
Anyway, if you want, I'll see if I can maybe make a tutorial or two myself to see if I can help you. I'm no pro myself mind you, I tend to just look at other people's work and then mess around and see if I can duplicate something similar with my own madeup techniques.

I can't figure out how to do blending, I was trying, to soften the edges on some of the pictures, and everything I tried affected the whole picture.
Any pointers you can give me would be GREATLY appreciated.
