A Perfect Hamentashen

Tonight I was trying to make a design in Painter using kaleidoscope mode (which divides the canvas into six sections and whatever is drawn in one section is replicated in all the others). As I was creating an abstract design, I realized that I had accidentally drawn a hamentashen (filled triangular cookie eaten on Jewish holiday of Purim). So I opened a new image and started over, this time drawing a hamentashen on purpose, and here it is, perfectly symmetrical thanks to Painter's kaleidoscope mode. I also used this image to create a pattern, which I plan to post here tomorrow.
