Nancy..
I use Photoshop Elements, which is very similar to PS to the best of my knowledge.
When you bring in a template, you can check the image size:
Image/Resize/Image Size and you will see the existing size
It should say 12 inches x 12 inches 300 resolution (or possible 3600 pixels by 3600 pixels)
That is standard sizing for digital scrapping. (You reduce that to 600 x 600 for the web.)
I pulled Template #168 in to see what you are talking about. And yes.. I see some jaggy edges around the frame when viewed at Fit to screen.
Try selecting View/Actual Pixels or even View/Print Size. You no longer will see those "jaggy edges". For simplicity sake, just know that if you are viewing a tilted frame at Fit to Screen.. you more often than not will see jaggy edges. They are fine when you view full size though.. no need to go in and straighten things.
The only thing I saw on full size view was softness around the Mickey Heads around the border. If you printed a layout with this template, you would see that, yes. The frame - no jaggies.
Without getting too techy, I hope this helps you out some.

I get stuff in my email but figured it was too complicated for me. When you say make sure it's set at 12x12 do you mean I should enlarge the shape before I select it and cut it bigger; then shrink it back down to the right size. I don't have PS on and can't remember what you call that thingy you streach with. Do you think that would work. Well it's probably just me. But I'm going to keep trying. Your help is much appreciated; if you have time to look at my LO and see if you see it on the frame it's at this spot:
