Fun with Graphics
Flauntr
Flauntr lets you open photos from your computer or from common photo sharing sites--like Picasa, Flickr, and elsewhere--and perform a slew of clever photo editing tricks. You can add a variety of graphical frames around your photos, for example, or incorporate the photo into a mock magazine cover with one click. There are also a handful of special effects, like simulated ripples, gradients, and lighting effects.
Psykopaint
Psykopaint tries to mimic the look of traditional brush-and-canvas painting. You can fine-tune your brush attributes with all sorts of controls like spreading (how far apart the strokes of your brush will occur), crossing (how frequently the strokes of your brush overlap), and shadow (which gives your brush strokes a more three-dimensional feel). It's a great site to check out if you want to give the impression that you painted your digital images.
Dumpr
Dumpr is one of those Web sites that has no practical use, really. Map your photo onto the sides of a Rubik's cube? Make a portrait look like it was snapped by paparazzi? Conform a picture to the curvy figure of an Easter egg? But after you start using the two dozen photo effects, you find they're addictively delightful.
