$9.99once, yours to keep

Makes surface pattern swatches: flat illustrated motifs spread edge to edge in a limited palette, like textile and wallpaper prints. A set of swatches with pattern names set under each. Drawn by a picture model with any words set in real type afterwards, so spelling is exact. Needs a FAL_KEY or a Cloudflare Workers AI key; about $0.01 to $0.02 a picture. Use when someone wants patterns, surface pattern designs, textile prints, wrapping paper designs or a set of backgrounds.
