LiteBrite - an online Flash version of the 40 year-old Hasbro toy

About LiteBrite: "Create your own LITE-BRITE designs online! Then you can print your design and hang it on your wall or on your fridge!"

From Wikipedia: "Lite-Brite is an electric toy introduced in 1967 by Hasbro that allows lighted pictures to be created. Lite-Brite allows the artist to create a 'glowing' picture by placing multi-colored translucent plastic pegs through opaque black paper. The light from an illuminated light bulb is blocked by the black paper except though where the pegs conduct the light. When lit, the pegs have an appearance similar to that of LEDs. Most Lite-Brite toys come with a series of pre-prepared patterns."
