Adjust the Position of the Clipping Mask

Adjust the Position of the Clipping Mask
Now click back on Shape 1 in the layers palette, then select the move tool from the toolbox. Put your cursor over any one of the small squares that appear on the sides and corners the bounding box and click once to enter transform mode. The bounding box will change the a solid line, and the options bar will show you some transform options. Swipe across the numbers in the rotate box and enter 180. The clipping shape will turn 180 degrees. Click the check mark button or hit enter to accept it.

This step is not required, I just liked the way the shape looked better with rounded corner on the top edge and it was another opportunity to teach you something.

If you want to adjust the position of the clipping shape, you can do that now with the move tool.
