   color: red;
   top: 3px;
   left: -105px;
   width: 0px;
   height: 0px;
   border-right: 100px solid transparent;
   border-bottom: 70px solid red;
   border-left: 100px solid transparent;
   -webkit-transform: rotate(-70deg);
   -moz-transform:    rotate(-70deg);
   -ms-transform:     rotate(-70deg);
   -o-transform:      rotate(-70deg);
   content: '';

}

One easy way is to use the CSS scale transform in addition to your existing rotate transform:

-moz-transform:    rotate(35deg) scale(.5);
-webkit-transform: rotate(35deg) scale(.5);
-ms-transform:     rotate(35deg) scale(.5);
-o-transform:      rotate(35deg) scale(.5);
