Floral Pattern
Make a floral pattern from 9 flower motifs of our own: a five-petal flower, a ray flower with 12 narrow petals, six pointed petals, a layered rosette, a small four-petal blossom, a cup flower with three tips, a bud, a bell flower and a leaf sprig. Lay them out as a ditsy print (small flowers scattered at any angle), a tossed print, a grid or a half-drop, with an optional second motif and small fillers in the gaps. Set the motif size and the repeat in inches or centimetres; scattered layouts come from a seed number, so the same seed always gives the same pattern, and no two flowers touch, even across the edges of the tile. Choose 2 to 5 colours and download a seamless SVG tile at real size, a phone, desktop, tablet or square background PNG, a 300 DPI PNG or a PDF at full size with a motif key. Nothing is uploaded.

Page 1 is the pattern at full size with a 1 in test square; page 2 is the motif key: each flower drawn large from the same shape data, with its circle and mirror line. The SVG tile repeats edge to edge; motifs that cross an edge carry on from the other side.

How to make a floral pattern
- Choose a preset, or pick a layout and a main motif.
- Add a second motif and a filler if you like, and set their sizes and how many go in the repeat.
- Set the repeat size (or the grid spacing) and a seed (change the seed for a new arrangement).
- Pick 2 to 5 colours: ground, petals, centres, leaves and a second petal colour.
- Download the SVG tile, a background PNG, or the PDF; print at 100% and check the 1 in test square.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Ditsy layout do?
On this page, Ditsy means small flowers scattered closely over the ground and turned every way, so the pattern has no up or down: motifs are placed from the seed at any angle and smaller blossoms fill the gaps. Tossed does the same with bigger motifs, turned only within the range you choose.
Will the tile repeat without a seam?
Yes. A flower that runs over an edge of the tile is drawn again from the opposite edge, so copies placed edge to edge join with no seam. Our tests compare the pattern one and two repeats over, by shape and by sampled colour.
Do the flowers overlap?
No. Every motif has a circle that holds it, and in the scattered layouts a new one is only placed where its circle stays clear of every other one by the gap you set, across the tile edges too. Grid and half-drop layouts are checked the same way; if motifs would touch, the maker asks for a bigger spacing instead of drawing them.
What is a half-drop repeat?
In a half-drop, every second column of motifs is moved down by half a cell, so the motifs line up on the diagonal instead of in straight rows. Here the repeat is two cells by two cells: a 1.25 in spacing gives a 2.5 in square tile.
Are the flowers symmetrical?
Each motif is a mirror image of itself left to right, and the round flowers also look the same after a turn: every 72° for the five-petal flower, 30° for the ray flower, 60° for the pointed petals, 45° for the rosette and 90° for the blossom. Our tests check every part of every motif.
Is the tile the exact size I set?
Yes. The SVG tile is written in inches or centimetres (for example 5 in square for the first preset), and the PDF prints the pattern at full size with a 1 in test square to check your printer.
What size are the background PNGs?
Phone 1080 × 1920, desktop 1920 × 1080, large screen 2560 × 1440, tablet 2048 × 2732 and square 1080 × 1080 pixels. The pattern is drawn at 96 pixels per inch of the size you set, so a 0.55 in flower is 52.8 pixels across.
How is this different from the SVG pattern and Memphis makers?
Those draw geometric shapes and lines. This page draws flower motifs, keeps them apart in a scattered, grid or half-drop repeat, and gives a full-size PDF with a key of the motifs.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything is drawn by JavaScript in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
