Canva Templates - Any photo you add should automatically fit in the frame (the area that looks like the sky). If you do not want to use the frame, use the second sheet available in the template. Please do not change the locked circles.  Your picture needs to fit inside the smaller circle inside the outer gray circle. Trim around the outer gray circle when you cut out your buttons; the extra will bend around the back of the button. You may need to trim a little extra of the gray off to fit in the button maker.  Download and print out as a PDF document, and it should keep the correct sizing.

If given the option, please choose - use template for new design.
