Fan and scallop design: shallow, classic, deep overlap

Fan and scallop — Half-circles the width of a match head in tight offset rows, each drawn with three concentric arcs inside it, overlapping so only the top third of each fan shows above the row below., fan repeat, half-circles in rows offset by half a unit so each row covers the joins below, concentric arcs drawn inside every fan, the overlap depth constant, arcs drawn as fine lines on a flat ground

The fan is the roof tile and the deco awning: half-circles overlapping in offset rows, each row covering the joins of the row below, close cousins of scallop, clamshell and wave. These nine render shallow, classic and deep overlap fan-and-scallop across three colourways. Ask for a different ring count inside each fan, and the same three colourways carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size and format do these print at?
Each pattern is a seamless square tile at even resolution, so it repeats cleanly on fabric yardage or a wallpaper roll.
Can I get a different ring count inside each fan?
Yes — the direction field takes any ring detail, and the same three colourways render it.
What's the difference between the three overlap depths?
Shallow lets more of each half-circle show, classic sits at the traditional roof-tile proportion, and deep overlap covers most of the row below for a denser scale-like texture.
Is this the same as a clamshell or wave print?
Scallop, clamshell and wave are all names for the same offset half-circle grammar — this set covers that shared structure under the fan-and-scallop name.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
