The Inartistic Take A Bough

I really want to do this as a part of my programs...but the colors aren't right. So, after a few days, I finally figured out how to change the color of the original picture! I'm not really good with this computer thingamajig, and the most advanced program I have is Microsoft Word....seriously. But, I did it and I found another tree picture I like too. I can't decide which one I like better! Opinions?
