Ah, didn’t explain my issue clearly enough – I would like the circles to actually be drawn once, like stickers! So the behavior would be ellipse attached to mouse cursor but when the user clicks, it will be placed down. When I took your advice to put the background in draw, it did have the persistent mouse cursor behavior i was looking for but no longer placed down the circle.
Thanks for your help so far! I’m sure I’m just missing something obvious.
