Let’s talk quatrefoils!

If you’re anything like me, you might be a little confused about what exactly a quatrefoil is. No judgement here!

A quatrefoil is a decorative element made from four ‘foils’, or leaves, that connect or overlap to create a single shape. Most commonly, quatrefoils can be seen in decorations from India or even Morocco.

All we really need to know is quatrefoils are beautiful and make stunning backgrounds. We’ve put together a list of quatrefoil backgrounds you can use to bring style and elegance to your next designs.
