Watch Susan Rutledge create a seamless repeating pattern with clipart created from her Fall Design Series. These easy to follow step-by-step instructions teach you how to make a seamless pattern, which you can make with any artwork. Some of the tools used in this video include an Art Brush, the Move Tool and the Crop Tool. Susan shows you how to expand the appearance of artwork, paste objects in place, find and use the Swatches Panel, resize pattern swatches, apply swatches to a stroke, align a stroke and find and open the Stroke Dialogue Box. Keyboard Shortcuts are available for both MAC and PC users.
