I imagine you may have created an image using several small sketches, and 
perhaps you wish to have one of the sketches in another place.
If it is your intent to move one or another of the sketches, then perhaps it is 
best to put each sketch in a single layer. Then you can move each sketch 
independently of all the others, and the entire group of layers will print to 
your "final work" (perhaps a png or jpg image). Layers are not intended to be 
"final works."

You can create one or more groups of layers in your overall image for this kind 
of activity.
