To create wreaths... ​

  1. Select the object or design.

  2. Click the Wreath icon. The associated settings are activated.

  3. Move the pointer. Optionally, click the Kaleidoscope toggle to mirror duplicates.

  4. Enter the number of wreath points. Because objects are mirrored, Kaleidoscope works best with an even number.

Distance and angle are measured from the center of the source to the center of the wreath or kaleidoscope.
