Halloween Frames Photo turns one favorite picture into a Halloween-themed keepsake. Start with an illustrated frame, fit your photo, arrange ghost and pumpkin stickers, then add and style a greeting. This walkthrough reproduces the app's first Store example.
1.Choose a Halloween frame
Start in the frame picker and choose the pumpkin-themed illustration using Frame choice. It provides the Halloween border for your photo.
The frame picker displays a pumpkin-themed Halloween border before a photo is added. 2.Add and fit your photo
Add one picture with Photo. Adjust Photo scale until the subject sits comfortably inside the border; this example uses 75%.
A portrait fits inside the pumpkin frame after the Photo scale setting is adjusted to 75%. 3.Open the Halloween stickers
Switch from frames to the decoration tools. The Sticker art selector lets you add illustrated decorations to your picture.
The editor's decoration mode is open and the loaded photograph is ready for Halloween stickers. 4.Place a ghost and a pumpkin
Choose a ghost with Sticker art, then drag it away from the subject. Add a pumpkin sticker and drag it into an open part of the frame. You should have two sticker layers.
A ghost and a pumpkin sticker decorate the framed portrait without hiding the subject. 5.Add a greeting
Press Add text to create a text layer. The editor opens with a sample Halloween message you can replace.
A greeting text layer is selected and the editor displays its sample Halloween message. 6.Write your own message
Use Greeting content to type a message, such as Our spooky date! You can choose a supplied text style before replacing the sample.
The greeting editor shows the personal message Our spooky date! with two Halloween stickers on the framed photo. 7.Style and position your greeting
Set Greeting color to black, increase Greeting font size to 42, and drag the message to a clear space below the subject. Deselect the layer to see the completed Halloween keepsake.
The finished Halloween photo keepsake has a pumpkin frame, ghost and pumpkin stickers, and a personalized greeting below the subject.
Tips
Fit the picture before you place stickers so the decorations do not overlap the subject.
Keep stickers away from faces; drag each one after selecting it.
Choose a dark greeting color on a light part of the photograph for readable text.
Watch outThe app edits one photo at a time; it is not a multi-photo collage editor.
Watch outThe composition shown here is a finished design preview, not a saved image. Use the app's proof and export flow to save or share it.
