The size change won't be visible until the group needs to be redrawn on 
screen. As mentioned, give one of the objects a little nudge, or else 
just leave the card and come back. (Haven't tried it, but just locking 
and then unlocking the screen might do it too.) Unlocked images behave 
the same way, and it can be a surprise when you return to the card to 
see that your unlocked image has suddenly grown huge.
