PSE 12 - The Case of the Giant Elements

[cmkb396]

I got PSE 12 for Christmas, and am finding my way around pretty well in the program. One thing that is annoying me, though, that I hope maybe someone can help me with is: Giant Elements. I typically create 12x12 LO's, and when I drag and drop an element on to the screen - it is literally 12x12 and takes over the whole screen. This works OK for somethings, but it is getting annoying when trying to place a little button or a single flower... I am finding myself giving the scroll wheel on my mouse double the workout scrolling out to resize (then waiting for my page to reload when I scroll back in.) Does anyone have any clue as to how to change the size of our elements so they don't take over the whole screen when dropped onto the page in PSE 12? Thanks!
