PSE HELP: Background Showing Up Larger Than The Original

[Sillz]

I'm trying to add a background like I always do but when I place it on my image it shows up more zoomed in than the original. I've checked that it really isn't just zoomed in, and I can't seem to find the problem. Help? Attached is the original image and I will post the way it is showing up in my next comment below.

Here's how it is showing up on my 12x12 image.

Sorry haven't used elements but if you have turned your paper into a pattern in photoshop & you add it in sometimes the scale can come out to whatever your last setting was. this tutorial might help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhOMRWR5zB0

Thanks for the link! I tried it but it didn't seem to work. I think I've found a work around for it though...instead of having a new transparent background and putting the paper onto it, I started with the background file as the new file and built on it. That way it stays at the right size.

Which version of Elements are you using?

I use PSE version 6

If you want to see your papers, elements, and layout full size, try going to the Menu at top,
View
Fit on Screen or Actual Pixels

Good luck
