Nested loop is a very useful tool when creating repetitive patterns. It was fun to design an aesthetically pleasing image by balancing the colors and shapes of different elements.

I researched wallpaper or tablecloth patterns on the internet first, then tried to design my own image. I set the overall color to be soft and harmonious, by using a combination of pink, maroon, light yellow and white. The shapes I used include triangles, circles and rectangles, which overlap on each other to create a harmonious pattern.
