Open image 1 and image 2:

With the Move Tool, drag the tulips onto the winter image.

Rename the Tulips layer.

Your Layers Palette should look like the one on the picture.

You are going to divide the image into four quadrants with the guides.

Guides are nonprinting lines that float over the image.
You can move and remove guides.
You can also lock them so that you don’t move them by accident.

First - bring up the rulers:
View > Rulers

Second - Position your cursor on the left ruler, click and drag the guide to the 4" mark. Release the mouse.

Third - Position the cursor over the top ruler, click and drag the guide to the 2.5" mark.

Look at the picture on the left.

Now you're going to create a Layer Mask to hide the 3/4 of the tulips without erasing them:

Make Tulips layer active.

Layer > Layer mask > Reveal Selection

Your image should look like the one on the right.

Compare the Layer palettes:

Note that you have two thumbnails on your Tulips layer.
The first one is the image's thumbnail. When it is selected - you can edit the image itself
The other one is the mask's thumbnail. When selected - you can edit the mask ( the shape of the layer's visible area - in our case it is a rectangle in the bottom left side of the image).
You can edit this shape by painting on the mask with white color (to add more reveal areas) or black color (to cover some areas).

Select the Layer Mask thumbnail (in the palette)

Make sure you have White as your Foreground color.

Select the Brush Tool.

Paint the tops of the two tulips like shown on the left picture.

Don't worry if you get some green around the flowers.

Switch the colors in the tool box to have Black as your Foreground color.

Choose a smaller brush to paint over the greens.

Select the Move Tool.
