How to split a zigzag layer between two images

Question

I want to combine two images with the addition of a zigzag border layer between them.

Here is an example image that I want to integrate into my application.

How can I achieve this type of illusion between two images? I also tried Masking image, but that does not give me the output that I really want.

Please help me with this. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thank

/*
Create image with "zigzag" separator line from 2 source images
Steps to acheive the desired output:
1: Create first image with zigzag edge on the right - change value of "width" variable as necessary to extend/reduce the visible area other than zigzag edge.
2: Draw "second image" in the context (canvas) as it is, but overlayed by first image with zigzag edge generated in the step 1 above. Draw zigzag line in desired color on the image from step2 above using the same curve path.
