diagonal b/w gradient
filter -> newspaper
circular selection from the middle of the canvas
invert, cut
color to transparency (white)
duplicate newspaper pattern -> rotate 45°

i was very surprised to get this symmetrical flower-like pattern

I think some of the best patterns are made by accident

If I stare at the first one for a little while, I almost see motion.

Then again, it could be the mushrooms.
