looks a little blurry cause you probably started out with a smaller version & blew it up?

As I understand it, any photo editing software can do it, but I am certainly not expert.

I made mine in a powerpoint drawing type software, then exported to PDF and Jpeg formats.

I found some clipart to use somewhere and modified it, and added text.

The instructions in Etsy say that the banner should be 760 pixels wide by 100 pixels high.

If you don't have graphics software to create your banner in I would be happy to help you. Just send me a PM if you would like help.

I just went and looked at your banner. It doesn't look that bad.

If you have graphics software start with a page that is the size I mentioned above. That way when you save it as a .jpg it will fit perfectly and not be resized by Etsy to fit.

Renee,

I think the main problem is that you have jpg artifacts from too much compression. That is what you are seeing as a disturbed area around the letters.

When you save it, go for a higher number with less compression. You will increase your load time, but the image will be sharper.
