Here are some existing examples of wrapping paper that show a variety of repeated patterns, some more simple and spread out, others really busy with lots going on. I want to focus on the hand drawn type and not so much the imagery, but these examples below show ways of laying out the design in simple vertical and horizontal grids. The first image shows a nice quote; 'a girl can never have too many dresses' which is a good example of the path I want to go down, writing something that's a bit different to the usual cliché sayings for birthdays and other celebrations.
