          Appeal No. 2006-1643                                        Παγε 8                          
          Application No. 09/845,589                                                                  

          FJCP that the calendar can include a single enhancement or a                                
          multi-image enhancement, we find that an artisan would have been                            
          motivated to use a multi-image photo on the greeting card as                                
          well.                                                                                       
               Claim 1 additionally recites that the user is allowed to cut                           
          out and fix the characteristics of an image onto a page for use                             
          as a scrapbook page.  The claim does not recite that the cutting                            
          and fixing steps are actually carried out, but rather that a user                           
          is allowed to do so.  In FJCP, a user is capable of cutting                                 
          pictures out of the composite sheet with three different size                               
          photos (characteristics) of the same image and putting them                                 
          together in a collage as a scrapbook page. Thus, we find that                               
          FJCP meets the limitations of claim 1.  In any event, turning to                            
          Monn, we find that the reference describes a memory box for                                 
          storing photos (col. 1, lines 15-17).  In particular, a kit is                              
          described for decorating the photo storage box (col. 1, lines 56-                           
          58).  The method for decorating the photo box includes making a                             
          photocopy of the photograph, tearing the edges from the                                     
          photograph so that the border is torn completely around the                                 
          periphery of the subject (col. 4, lines 18-22).  An adhesive is                             
          then applied to the back of the photocopy and the torn photocopy                            
          is then pasted onto the surface of the box
