Shape into your Project.
- Click on your Shape.
- The Shapes Tab will appear.
- Click on the Fill Drop Down.

- Click on Fill with Clip Art.
- Choose an Image from the Image Gallery.
- Now your shape will have an image inside.
Fill Effects
Once your shape has a fill image the
Fill Effects Tab will become available to you.
From the Fill Effects tab you can:
- Change your Image - sets a different Image
- Change the Fill options:
-
- Fill - stretch the Image to fill the object completely
Note: This may cause distortion of the image if it is not
the same shape as the object you are filling

it can without distorting the image
