Many Pink Daisies (Kaleidoscope)

Tonight I went back to the Pink Daisies drawing that I made in Painter 12's kaleidoscope mode (posted here on December 21). I wanted to see what it would look like as a pattern. I tried several versions but discovered that if I used a 52% offset, everything lined up perfectly, producing some very nice triangles and circles. (I am writing that percentage down here so I won't lose track of it.) This wasn't math, though. I just fiddled around till things lined up, and then looked at the controls to see what the numbers were.
