Repeater

Tile and repeat the frame with offsets and blends.

Repeating a frame with offsets builds pattern from photography: wallpaper, contact-sheet energy, structural multiplication. Designers use it for rhythm; artists use it for obsession and echo.

Blend modes and spacing keep the repeats from becoming a simple tile.
