OK now for the last part of all of this :) Hope you are still with me.

I find it easier to do it this way then more steps as we went so now to make him fuzzy.

These are the Eyecandy settings I used and we just do it to each layer now except for eyes, nose, mouth, and the paw marks. The rest do get it so I found just setting up Eyecandy then clicking on each layer saves time :) Here are the settings.

Go to the layers click on the ones to jiggle and apply then he is a fuzzy bunny.

Now that he is fuzzy you can merge all your layers

Layers /Merge Visible

Walla you have your bunny to do as you want :)
