What are PhotoPop cards?

I've seen a section for 'PhotoPop' cards. What are they and how do we design for them? How are they different from the usual flat 7x5 holiday cards?

Looks to me like one of those special programs that you had to be invited to participate in.

In terms of what they are - it looks like they use the same photo on two layers but the top photo has the background removed. Then there's text and/or other design elements between the two photo layers, so the people in the photo appear to "pop" out of the photo. I can replicate the concept in the design tool, but I can't figure out how to get it to automatically remove the background from the top photo - so there's either some trick to it, or it's a feature that's only available to designers in that program.

Either way, I don't think you can have your designs included in the special section unless you're in the program.
