Re: my image is coming out squashed

I used an icon from clip art online

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y212/starchild_dreams/sun_shine.gif

I didn't make it.

Maybe putting the words over it (in an arch- right over the point of the
beams) pushes it down when it prints. Even though I use "no fill" on the
words. It looks fine (round) in the set up. And the person I'm doing it for
thinks it looks good. It's just something I notice, because it starts out
perfectly round.

Thanks,
Carrie
