Hugin is a free, cross-platform tool for creating panoramas by stitching images. I haven't tried Hugin out but the screenshots look very promising.
From the webpage:
Goal: an easy to use cross-platform GUI for Panorama Tools.
With hugin you can assemble a mosaic of photographs into a complete immersive panorama, stitch any series of overlapping pictures and much more.

I have used Hugin several times, I can warmly recommend it. Fairly easy to use.
