The top right design shows a starburst pattern with alternating red and blue wedge shapes bordered by a scalloped edge. The bottom left design presents a more petal-oriented pattern with heart-like red and blue shapes and a central circular focal point. The bottom right design combines concentric circles and layers of scalloped forms alternating in blue and yellow. Each design is outlined in bold red lines.
