Sometimes the most interesting part of the pattern is not the lines or shapes that make it up - but the shapes that are created in the negative space because of the arrangement of the pattern.
First, the "fancy": Pattern Kristy
Why it's "fancy": The thin lines in this pattern vary between elegant loops and pairs of diagonal straight lines that form argyle-like diamonds.
Why it's great: If you focus only on the negative white space between each "row" of pattern, you'll see blocky capital Z or N shapes!
And now, the "funky": Pattern Buttercup
Why it's "funky": Each row of pattern orients the flower-like rectangles in the opposite direction - creating squares of different sizes in the negative white spaces.
Why it's great: From afar, the design resembles a plastic picnic tablecloth with its emphasis on plaid and flower-like forms.
