You'll start with the yellow circle below the corner of the screen, use the Selection Tool to select it.

When you select this circle, you will see that there is a square frame surrounded by small square fulcrum.

If you don't see this box, select View >> Show Bounding Box to see it.

Resizing is very simple, you just need to drag one fulcrum of the image to another position, while dragging Shift , the image will not be scaled.

Reduce the circle and move it to the position of the pistil, as in the example below:

Or, pay attention to the Propertise , Transform section in the right bar of the screen.

Here contains the dimensions of the object, you can enter the exact measurement you want in 2 items W and H to get the desired image size.

Next, you perform the rotation to the petal image on the side. Use the Selection Tool to select the shape, then move the mouse pointer and any corner of the Bounding Box until the cursor changes to a two-dimensional curved arrow. Just hold the mouse and drag to rotate the image, hold Shift to rotate accurately 45 degrees :

Finally, using the Selection Tool , select the petal shape and move it to the appropriate position:

Pay attention to the roof of the tower that is still incomplete, your job is to turn it down 45 degrees.

After selecting the object with the Selection Tool , select the Rotate tool.

You should now see a plus point, which will be the center of the pivot, meaning that your image will rotate around this point. Just like you would use a compass, this would be equivalent to a needle as a pole.

You move this point down to its correct position, in the lower right corner of the image:

The rest is very simple, you just need to hold on any one point in the picture and drag down the correct position:

Finally, flip the image, use the Direct Selection Tool to select the image of the inverted sail:
