Step 4. Adjust the Rectangle Size

Once you double tap on the "Rectangle" widget. A small sized rectangle will load on your artboard located on the center of the screen. From there you can drag it and place it at any desired position. We placed our rectangles like shown in the image below.

Step 5. Fill the Color of the Rectangle

Now, select the first rectangle and click on "Fill" option at the bottom right side of the screen. A small pop up window pallet will open up displaying all the colors in front of you. Choose your desired color and press enter. We will be using the black color for this very example for our first rectangle and keep the other one white.

Step 7. Adjust the Size of the Text

Double click on that small text on your artboard and type "20" instead of it. Now, select that "20" once again by clicking it two times and increase its font size by your choice, just go to the right of your screen and under the "Text" heading you'll have access to the font style, size, color, position, and more. Rotate the "20" by clicking and holding the small circle on its top and dragging the mouse. Stop once it is 270 degrees (look at right to verify) and place it as I did I the image below.

Step 9. Adjust the Text

The "20" text will get duplicated as it was on the artboard. Select the duplicated text and invert its color to black to be able to see it on the white artboard. Replace the zero (0) with the current or upcoming year's initial in my case which is "1". Place the text to a location.

Step 10. Add Borders and Image to the Calendar

Add borders on the white side by using the rectangle tool and duplicating the rectangles. Download a vibrant and fresh plant or any png from the web. Make sure its copyright free or you have the license to use it. Once downloaded just drag and drop the image on the artboard.
