I saw there were two templates, and because flowers didn't seem to fit, I chose the other one. To choose the text outline, I first selected all of the stars and rectangles, and then inverted the selection. Then, I unselected everything outside of the story page. Finally, I condensed the selection to where it looked like good spacing to me. The poem box was a pain, because putting text in it kept the text horizontal. If I rotated it, it kept the angled shape. So, I copied that rectangle, pasted it as a separate image, used the straighten tool to make it horizontal, selected the inside, cut out an approximate of where the star would be, placed the text in it, merged visible, and pasted it back into the layer it came from - of course, rotating it back where it had been. Whew!
