Re: my image is coming out squashed

PS... when I just looked at this I realized if the sun is in back of the
words the shadows (if any) should be in the front. I also think it's easy to
put too much in something- there's so much available to use.

But, this was just the first playing around with.

I'm going to look up logos online and see how others do them, and know
there are templates in Publisher. Seems to be only a few basic setups, with
variations.
