how to group image and new background

I have an image where i removed the background, then added a different background. I would like to group the image and background, but it does not work when i select both, then click group. i am trying to create and save this new image. any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just tried this and it worked fine for me, but in my case, my backgrounds are always another image that I uploaded specifically to use as a background. When I try the same thing with a Zazzle provided background it does not work.

thanks, windy. actually it was my own photo that i used as a background, but i got around it another way. used other software to remove the background, then used photoshop elements to group them together. accomplished what i needed.

I am glad you found a solution. I just tried it again with JPG and with PNG and also with SVG, and had no issue grouping together two and even three layers including the one where I had used Zazzle's background removal tool. So I am not sure what the issue might be.
