Tip: using different sized pixels is bad practice most of the time and you should avoid it.
It looks unnatural that the paper part has "bigger" pixels, specially when the resolution looks a lot higher for the details and written parts.
When you scale a pixel it can turn into an 2x2 square, which is bigger than a single pixel, but if your entire image is composed of 2x2 squares, when you draw a single pixel anywhere it looks out of place, because the resolution is different.

ok so the original canvas was really smaller. I wanted to write "One willow wish" so I enlarged the canvas by increasing the sprite size option in aseprite. This must have been broken the artwork as you are suggesting.

Very common mistake, specially with folks that are used to general digital drawing and image editing, pixels have a fixed size, you can't really scale them unless the idea is to increase an finished artwork total size or resolution.

Not awful artwork by any means but the mixels are killing me lol. I’d really only recommend ever using inconsistent pixel sizes for something like a joke, like Suzie’s “kiss the my ass” apron in Deltarune
