Lets begin open a blank canvas of 600x250 add another layer and put your forground and background to black and the darkest gray in your pallete,

Ok now open image 11 which should be the moon layer and paste it as a new layer resize to your liking this should be under your duplicated clouds layer
ok change your top cloud layer to a blend mode you like, i cant remember at the moment what mine is but im pretty sure it may be hardlight or burn lol, i also changed the opacity to 94.

Open image image 44 and resize it a little to make it look like the tree is to the front place it on the right side duplicate and resize so it looks like the tree is further from the front and place it
besides the taller trees. duplicate your duplicated layer and make that a bit smaller and place it next to that tree also.
