Still having trouble with scanner. But hope Cardinals come back in full force this winter. Trees was full last year.
Hi K...It looks like your scanner scans alright.. The thing is that it scans not only picture, but also the rest of top. All you need to do is to "crop" the white part of the image away, so that you only have the picture left over. Then you can just upload that. Lookie here: I copied your image onto my computer then cropped-away the white and here is the result. It's easy-peasy. See that all that white from the inside of the lid of your scanner is gone now? Those cardinals look pretty good against the snow. They are lovely birds.
Let's hope more will follow the ones that have already arrived. They are such attractive little birds aren't they? :-D
