Yes, but I used the color of the Instructables website header. I thought that the jpeg artifacts might not be as bad if there weren't any in the image to begin with. Here it is with the original color.

Check the date of the post you're responding to... In about 6 months, do you think there was time to edit this project?

Hmm, I am having trouble. I am sort of new to Gimp, so I need some help. So I downloaded the template, I have the picture I want. So should I Open the Picture as a New Layer? I am not sure if I am supposed to do that. Then I cannot seem to scale my image. So I have the image that I want behind the "Step 5" text. How do I edit that image to make it look better to fit? Is that the scaling? Then, I cannot seem to find out how to edit the "Step 5" text. Whenever I click the "T" in the GImp toolbar, I then click the spot where I want to edit the text. So that annoying box appears on the bottom of my screen. I type in the text I want, and I cannot move it. Sorry for being a "newb", but I really like this idea of Ads.

That explanation seems like it will help me! I will try it after my Soccer game, and we will be on our way! Thanks!
