The noise on the strip of tape also seems to be much sharper than the
picture of the baby, which itself is sharper than the background.
Compare the text on the top edge of the monitor, and the text on the
Congraulations card.

Also, if it is tape, almost all of it is on the baby pic, and almost
none of it is attached to the monitor; not enough to keep the picture in
place. Also take a look at the lower edge of the baby pic: you can see
the edge of the monitor through it. It looks like it's been pasted on in
photoshop, with some transparancy.
