The flower is in stroke so for changing its color you have to change the color of stroke then I will set a gray background by using a rectangle tool so that i can see it properly. I will change the square color to red and the flower shape color to white. You can set your objects in a different order as per your choice.Ĭhange the color of the square according to you. I will check the alignment of these objects in outline mode. I will make duplicate copies of this flower shape by pressing the Ctrl + D button of the keyboard and arrange it on all four corners of this square then set one at the center of this square. So for that go to the View menu of the menu bar and go to the Display mode option of drop-down list then choose the Outline option it. You can check the alignment of this shape by turn it into an outline mode of shape.

I will increase the width of the stroke of this shape because this pattern will be small in size and it will be properly visible with high stroke size when it set on pattern design.

Now select center leaf as well as a rectangle then align the center leaf with the rectangle shape by using Align and Distribution panel’s vertical and horizontal align tab. Now make a duplicate copy of this rotated leaf by the same method then click on the horizontally flip button which is at the properties bar of this software for flipping this leaf horizontally or you can simply press H key of the keyboard. Now rotate this duplicated leaf like this by holding the rotating anchor point of bounding box of this leaf. For making a duplicate of this hit Ctrl + D button of the keyboard and move this plus sign at the bottom of this leaf because it is the center point of this leaf and I will rotate a duplicate copy around this point. Now select this leaf and make a duplicate of it. You can have this panel from the Object menu of the menu bar or you can simply hit Shift + Ctrl + F keys of the keyboard.
