~Here's how I do it on paint.net.
1)open Paint.net
2)get all the pictures required to make it
3)on the picture te wish to cut out, erase all around the character. It may take a while, but nonetheless handy. Tip: The quickest way to do this is to use the curve/line tool in white o a completely different color that the character isn't related to and use it around the part of the character te wish to use.
4) Use the Magic Wand tool and click away from the character.
5)Then click the cut tool and erase any unnecessary things that stuck around that are too close to the character. However, the part of the character te choose will be perfectly fine! For the Line/Curve tool technique: use the Magic tool on the lines te use,and that will leave the character perfectly unharmed. Then proceed to do the same with the scenery above
6)Now, go to the picture te wish to post the character on. Go to the "Layers" pull-out and click "add layer".
7)Go back to the character te cut out and use the Lasso tool around them, and then click Copy.
8) Go to the picture te wish to put the character and click Paste.
9)Ajust the character as much as te want.
10)Go to Layers, click Merge Layer Down
11)Save
