Step 05: Type All Text Continue typing the remainder of the Text. The "Easter Crafts Egg Hunt" Text and the "Date" Text are of the Font Family "Advert" which I also got from www.FontFreak.com. Set the Size for the "Date" Text to "32" and the "Easter Text" to "90". Center all Text. This is what all the Text on the page will look like.
Step 06: Modify Color Palette Now we will add Color and a Drop Shadow to the Easter Text. Go down to the right side of the Color Palette and click on the Arrow . This will bring up the menu for changing how the colors are displayed. Here select Blues.
