Circles and Layers

Creating 3D effects is important to me, so I am considering layers and repeats as illustrated below. Gornall's combination of precise lines and organdie circles in brilliant colours across layered planes are very compelling. Harries' layered alphabets have a more simple, rustic look but again have depth.
