In Photoshop Elements, I am wondering how to resize/merge two images

I have an image of a carnival frame game with a banner.  I want to insert another image, a banner into the frame game so it looks like the 2nd banner is within the frame.  I am having a hard time resizing and making the 2nd layer fit just right, and how to view the final merged image.  Thank you for the help.

    In Editor, go to the expert tab.

    1. Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
    2. Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    3. Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
    4. Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    5. Use the move tool to position object from picture B, and resize with the corner handles, if necessary.
    6. In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.
