Abstract: An apparatus for applying a decorative design to a surface comprising a roll having an outer cylindrically shaped surface formed of an engravable material, such as rubber, and a pattern that is partially engraved into the engravable material on the roll such that the pattern is raised on the outer surface of the roll. The pattern is either close-ended or open-ended on both ends of the roll. When the roll is rolled over a surface in parallel and abutting and/or partially overlapping rows, the pattern is transferred in ghost onto the surface and there is no discernable line or seam between the parallel and abutting and/or partially overlapping rows.
