Sorry I am very new to using the GIMP. How do I add a speech bubble to a picture ?

I had a lesson on that in the Linuxchix GIMP course: it was the second half of Lesson 5 in http://www.linuxchix.org/content/courses/gimp/

If you're new to the gimp and haven't used layers and text before, I'd recommend reading Lesson 3 first.

There's also lots of great information in "Grokking the GIMP", at gimp-savvy.com (not by me, I'm just a satisfied buyer of the book).

Akkana,

Thanks for that what I did to create a speech bubble and then put it over the text. I then changed the text and turned it white. Brilliant.

However when I try to put more text on the screen I can not select the oval bit to colorise, I always get the text not the oval surrounding it.

I just worked out the problem it was the wrong layer. (This is called as soon as I ask the question I see the answer syndrome)
