Move these 4 egg layers around until you like how they look.
We are going to erase the bottom of them all so they appear to be sitting inside the basket.

In layers palette, right click on Egg 3

Merge – Merge down

Repeat this until all four eggs are on one layer

Drop the opacity to about 34, so you can clearly see the basket underneath them.

Working on the merged egg layer, and using selection tool, carefully draw around the rim of the basket at top, and include all the egg bits below that.

Delete.

Put opacity of eggs back to 100 to check how it looks, and repeat if necessary.

I also erased around the left part of the handle.

Once you are happy with it, put opacity of egg layer back to 100, and merge down onto basket.

Next layer should be the small copy of Flower in bottom right corner.
