The Picasa editor also makes it easy to remove any image from the photo collage or shuffle or scramble the pictures in the collage
You can even choose any picture from the photo collage and apply a specific border or background to it. In my example (see photo collage at the bottom), I have applied the “Instant camera” border for one of the pictures.
