Abstract
A wall ornament releasably mountable is provided with reusable adhesive. A light-weight, rigid substrate is used that is thick and conveys a three-dimension impression when the wall ornament is attached to a wall or similar planer surface. Various wall ornaments can be used together cooperatively to create a decorative wall scene. The wall ornament is easily removed and the adhesive can be reused so that unlimited theme decors can be accomplished. Possibilities for wall design include educational, fantasy, seasonal, sporting, and religious. When removed, the wall ornaments do not mar or damage wall surfaces. The wall ornaments can be professionally prepared or kits can be provided so individuals may match room decor to wall ornament.
