background behind the text is all blurry...

okay, so i'm trying to make a graphic for my site in PSP8, and i did text outlining (i finally figured it out THANK GOD), but the problem is, the background behind the text is all blurry. it's probably some really simple thing that i'm gonna feel like a total ass for not knowing, but...um...help? i'm xcatxstarx on AIM, if anyone wants to IM me and help me out.

great community, btw. i'm too lazy to read through the PSP book thing, and this community has helped me out a lot.
