Time for action – using the fill with color tool to paint the stage
In this exercise, we're going to create a solid background for our card and add a border to the design using a second color. Before you paint the background, let's delete the bitmap version of the Happy Birthday sprite. Let's paint by performing the following steps:

Select the Backdrops tab. Our project is new, so we see the default white background in the paint editor.
Apply a color by selecting the Color the shape tool and then choosing a color from the color palette. Click on the stage to fill it with the selected color.
