choose something around 50 by 135<, depending on your doll. If you have a background you
will have to estimate.
10. Save your doll as a .gif or .jpg or .bmp.
Note: gif and jpg in MS Paint dithers the images so it doesn’t look as good as it
would in other graphic programs. For best results, save it as a .bmp file.
