If you send it to me I can make you several sizes and whichever one works you can use that one.

for future reference, Miss Thrifty.....

Open the pic in paint. Then from the menu on the top, choose IMAGE.........then STRETCH/SKEW........then another window will open up. In the stretch section, make the horizontal & vertical something like 25. It defaults to 100, so make it smaller.

25 works good for me.

Then file...save as....and save it as something so's you'll know that it's been resized....like PIC1resize....or whatever. Be sure to note that it's in the My Pictures folder so you can find it again.

HTH.
