    I can not download the background and wings. The link takes to the site, but not the images. I am disappointed because I was really looking forward to this my first manipulation.

      @JohnBurger That’s the thing about free stocks… they just disappear
       
      I can find some similar ones on DeviantART search here:

      @JohnBurger Yes sometimes that happens, but you can try different images and also get the same result.
