How do I draw a dot and cross diagram for a molecule with a double bond

You draw them as you would a dot and cross diagram for a single bond except with two dots and two crosses in the region where the two circles overlap. These highlight the fact there are two bonds.(Can draw an example eg O2 in the learning space whiteboard.)
