One of the coolest things on the web--is the free online java applet of  Taprats to create your own tessellation. Perfect for a mosaic floor design of your own making. After playing with the design software for a while, I used the keyboard Alt + Print Screen to put a copy of the one I made on my computer clipboard, then pasted it into a graphics program to crop &  print.
Thank you Craig S. Kaplan for such a way cool interactive web thingie.
