I want to create a sort of 'montage' of some photos for my wallpaper at work, but I want to put them in diagonally and overlapping etc, Paint wont let me do this and I dont have Photoshop (nor do I do questionable downloads). Anyone know of something in Windows or that is free (or trial software?) that will allow me to do this.

And it is wallpaper, not a screensaver Im talking about

You cant spin them round diagonally or anything though, I want it to be a 'scrapbook' effect?

Might sound silly but I use Microsoft Publisher!
Once everything is how you want it, group all items, right click - then "save as picture"
