This tutorial was written assuming you have working knowledge of PSP. 

~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Make your Freehand Selection Tool active set on Point to Point.
Select along the bows and basket and section off the “inside area” of the basket:

Resize 60% and move into position – see my tag for reference.
Duplicate and move this layer below the first layer of grass.
Highlight the original element and erase the bottom part of the bunny so that the furry little guy looks like he’s standing IN the grass.

Add the rest of your elements.  I used:
El 22:  Resize 35%/Mirror
El 66:  Resize 80%
