Default Found my solution! Thanks DPS Friends!

Yesterday, I posted a problem that I was having, and found my solution thanks to some fellow DPSers! It seems that the issue was my UV filter. When I removed it and retook my series of shots this evening, no more ghosting!

However, it was a bit breezy this evening, so the garland and lights were blurred. After I Photomerged 5 exposures in PSE 8, I added a crosshatch filter to make it look like a canvas so the blurring wouldn't matter so much.

I think I may have already found next year's Christmas card!

Thanks, all! I'm so excited to learn and do more this year, and I feel that this was a really good start. I think I'm going to try to take more pictures of the "landmarks" around my town.
My sister just asked me to make this into a Christmas ornament for her to send to her (former) neighbor who recently relocated to Florida to live with her son. Might need to make one for myself, too.
