I have a couple of pics that I want to "hang" as small images on my desktop - NOT as wallpaper but just a couple of little pics - of the kids, etc.
Is there anyway I can just drag a jpg, gif or other image onto my desk top and size it to the size I want?
Kind of like taping a picture of someone to my monitor or desk.
Realize this is probably a crazy question, but... thanks.

No. But, you can resize the image in Preview as follows:

You could open each one in Preview and just leave them open on your Desktop, placed wherever you wish. Preview includes the ability to resize (scale) and image - the setting for that is in its Tools menu.

Stickies comes to mind — it's supposed to be kind of like taping a note to your monitor. So drag your picture into a new Stickies note, resize the note and set the position.
You can use a simple graphics program like Live Quartz to create a custom wallpaper file incorporating your pictures. LQ lets you scale, rotate, layer etc. to create just the right look.
Jeffrey's right; Stickies is perfect for the job.
When you've dropped the pic into the note, you can keep the note on top of all apps by selecting "Floating Window" from the Note menu.
