Newbie needing help edit picture

Hi friends,
I have two pictures I'd like to make one. I have a picture of a man I'd like to put over a picture of a flag for a presidential candidate funny. The only way I can think to get him over the flag, though, is to use some sort of ""Paint"" application and trace around his body, then cut and paste. And I don't want to do that...is there anything that could make it look a little more...I don't know, artistic, rather than the pixilation caused by Paint?

You could do this using Photoshop, but it's expensive. There are other image editors available that are free.

A few are:

GIMP
Paint.net
InkScape

Kind of like this?

I used a simple program (PhotoImpact 6) and cut out bill's head and put it on top of a flag. Then I faded bill's headshot and softened the edges.

Even if you don't fade, if you do a good cut job, just slightly soften the edges and he should fit into the picture pretty good.
