4. Set the page size to one of the options available in the dropdown menu.
   Or click User defined size to set your own size up to 120 mm x 120 mm (4.72” x 4.72”). This size should be as large or larger than your cookie. Measure the cookie, not the cookie cutter. If you are using an adapter or coaster, set the size to match the adapter/coaster.

9. Check the “Picture” box to add a background photo or graphic to your label. Click “Next”. If you click “Finish”, the remaining default wizard options will be set, and no picture will be added. Adding the picture as a background as it will automatically crop any square you add to the design to fit inside the circle, and ONLY the portion inside the circle will print. If you want more control of your image placement, uncheck this box and use the image tool to place your image.
