Thanks to some reviews, I went back to the drawing board on my book cover. I got a suggestion that the title should be taking up at least 1/3 of the cover. I punched up the font and hit it with some shadowing and outlines, I used the font Saturday Script at size 250. I used Picmonkey to do the design work, and for the images, I purchased them off of istock. On the general purchase on istock it allows for 500,000 uses. I was going for something simple that stood out and tied to the theme of each book. Picmonkey was really user-friendly and it had a variety of options to choose from as far as sizing and fonts. It did take me a couple of times of trial and error to get the sizing right to fit for Amazon KDP, but it was easy to make the adjustments.
Pro tip: Picmonkey is not free, but they do offer a seven-day trial, so if you know what you want to design, you can sign up and then cancel before you get charged.
