Draw out a flower.. we are going
to use a petal for the toes of the froggie
Layers>Convert

Freehand Selections Tool>Point to
Point>Anti-alias>No feather
Draw out one of the petals like
this
Edit>Copy, Edit>Paste as a New
Layer, Selections>Select None
With the Mover Tool, move the
"toe" into place on top of the first lily pad. This would be the
center toe.
Layers>Duplicate, using the Deform tool, rotate the copy so that
it fits close to the first toe. Then duplicate again and mirror
moving that one into place on the other side of the first toe,
Merge down until you have one layer. This gives the impression
the rest of his foot is behind the lily pad.
We need to get rid of the excess
part of the toes.
On the lily pad -
Selections>Select all, Selections>Float, Selections>Defloat,
Selections>Invert
With the eraser active, erase all
of the top part of the toes. All we want is what's visible on
the lily pad. With the whole pad in this way, we can erase
without fear of erasing the pad or the rest of the toes.
Now that that is over... !!

Click on the very bottom layer

Position the head so the it looks
like he's looking over the lily pads
