why is my ellipse making a triangle?


Image

i was happily starting to make the grapes, and now i am stuck with
a triangle.

i dont know what i clicked. any ideas?


-i thought i could edit-undo back to the point i was still making circles, but this did not work.
i am down to 2 circles, and when i try to make a new one, it comes out like a weird triangle
