Wallovers are symmetrical designs painted on a virtual wall. Select a square or hexagonal grid and choose a pattern and background color, then watch what happens as you draw. Change the brush size or color to vary the patterns. The rainbow brush cycles through colors as you hold down the mouse. The computer will make patterns for you if you click the 
AUTODRAW button near the top of this page. To start over, choose a new grid or pattern, or click the eraser.
Click the
printer icon to print your designs on paper, or capture a screen shot to save your picture on the computer or to share the file with a friend. Here's how.
If the top of this page is blank, download or update Shockwave Player.
