Like a Spirograph but not quite it...

[laurentwink]

I am trying to remeber what i used to have when i was a little girl, it was about 15 inches big and shaped like a cloud with plastic shapes cut out of the middle and you could out on your pencil on it and put it on paper and it would repeat the shapes to make a repetitive flower or pattern. anyone know what I am talking about?

I think I do - was it light blue with a yellow circle thing and then translucent stencilly bits? If so, my brother had one! I think it was called a 'dial-a-design' or something... ring any bells?

I had a dial-a-design they were a lot smaller than 15 inches, about 6 inches by four inches and about an inch thick. I was tearing my hair out tyring to remember the name of it - thanks Uncorrect
