The task for today:

1. Right-click on the image below of the watermelon or Cantaloupe to use as the head and SELECT "Copy Image" (or "Copy Picture" depending on your browser)
2. Open Paint.Net 
3. Go to FILE > NEW
4. Go to IMAGE>CANVAS SIZE and set the Width and Height to 600 and Click OK 
5. Go to EDIT > PASTE (you should now see the Watermelon or Cantaloupe as your 1st Layer on the White Background
6. Your task is to take the various pieces, copy them, paste them, and clean them up to create a "Veggie Head". Some examples can be seen below:
