I love paisley patterns and the paisley unit (you know, the bean, kidney, or comma shaped thingy) is my favourite ornamentics element of all. I make heaploads of them in Gimp and Inkscape, both by drawing them up myself and by cutting them out from found images and tweaking them. Note that some of these paisleys are also available as animated Gimp brushes (with the .gih file extension) - the button below will take you to the download. Otherwise it's of course just to right click and save anything you like!
