  Creating an Easter Egg. Part 2
Step 15.
Move the 2 layers so that they're side by side, and then merge them.
 
 
Step 16.
Do this until you have 4 humps.
 
 
Step 17.
Use free transform (edit > free transform) to reisze the shape so that the edges of the orange egg are roughly inline with the middle of the far left and right humps.
 
 
Step 18.
Click on the orange egg layer and select it (select > reselect). Click on the yellow shape's layer, in the layers panel, while the egg shape is still selected. Right click on the yellow shape layer and choose "layer via cut". A layer will be created, of just the yellow shape, within the bounds of the egg shape. The layer bellow will be the part of the yellow shape outside the bounds of the egg shape. Delete outside part.
 
 
Step 19.
After the previous step, the result should be something like the following.
 
 
Step 20.
Now we want to create some red spots on the yellow part. So, create a new layer and, using the elliptical marquee, create a circle.
 
 
Step 21.
Fill the cirlce with red.
 
 
Step 22.
Duplicate the red cirle layer and then merge all the red circles. Select the yellow shape layer and then click on the red cirlce layer. Use layer via cut once again to cut only the part of the cirlces within the bounds of the egg shape. Again, delete the part outisde the bounds.
 
 
Step 23.
It's now time to create the stars for the easter egg. Choose "custom shapes" from the shape icon in the toolbar. Then go to the top menu, of Photoshop, and then click the arrow for "shape". Choose shapes and then select the filled 5 point star (3rd icon from the left).
 
 
Step 24.
Create a red star and then make a selection using the shape (select > reselect)
 
 
Step 25.
Expand the selection by going to the top menu and choosing select > modify > expand. Choose 2 or 3 as the value and then press ok. Create a new layer under the red star and then fill it with red. Merge the 2 layers.
 
 
Step 26.
Duplicate the star layer a few times and reisize them (edit > free transform )
 
 
Step 27.
Make a slection using the orange egg shape by clicking on the layer and using select > reselect . Expand the selection (Select > Modify > Expand). Choose 5 as the value.Create a layer below all the other layers and then fill it with a peach color.
 
 

 

   
 
And there we go. The easter egg is created!
