you can resize how you see fit, mine is only an example, so be creative!

above paper 11. As before, click in the frame, selections, modify by 4, selections, invert,
on the paper layer, hit delete on your keyboard. Don't forget to be adding your dropshadow to
your elements as you go. Duplicate paper and frame, For both the paper and the frame, image,
free rotate, to the right 90%. copy and paste the moon and cow as shown in the example and
arrange in the horizontal frame. copy and paste the bear and rocking chair. Move them into
the frame that is verticle.
Now at this point I just started adding elements to make it look like the book Goodnight Moon.

With the dropper tool, pick up the dark yellow color from the moon and with the font
