Front Seat Bouquets (Pattern)

This image began with the picture that I posted here yesterday, a photo of a little bouquet -- taken in the front seat of my car. I had altered the original photo in Painter, using digital pastel to simplify the background and then applied Painter's woodcut effect. I thought that it might make an interesting pattern because of the diagonal lines and strong contrasts. So tonight I captured the pattern in Painter. Then I filled a new image with the pattern, using the Paint Bucket tool. I set the offset at 50% and the scale at 33%. Then I cropped the result to get a symmetrical image.
