However this same flipping can be a little tricky when you use a Picture fill within a shape. Look at the example shown in Figure 2, below. The shape on the left is the original Teardrop shape with a picture fill. In our attempt to flip the picture, we tried flipping the container shape. The result is that the picture does get flipped, but so does the shape, as shown on the right.
