Birthday Invitation

Step 7

Oh, we are really making progress here. New thing to do is to make a border. I open the document with a birthday cake and a bumblebee. This picture is 75 pixels high, so we are going to make a border which is of the same height. Choose the “Rectangle marquee tool” from the menu to the left.

Step 8

The drag a rectangle in the top area of the invitation card. “But, how do you know that the border is 75 pixels high?”, I am sure some of you wonder. Well, I keep a look at the “Info” Menu to the left. (It can also be found under “Windows” > “Info”. As soon as you start dragging the tool the value in that space will tell you the size of your rectagle. Neat, huh?

Step 9

Before we can fill the rectangle with our pattern, we need to go back to the picture with the bumblebee and the birthday cake and define it and fill. This was done by clicking “Edit” and choose “Define Pattern” and then choose “Use” “Pattern” and name it, just like when we did the background. Easy! Since I really liked this border, I decided to put one in the bottom of the document as well.
