What the Checkerboard Easter Egg Shows
The egg is viewed straight on and divided into a regular grid of alternating square sections. Its centered position and empty background keep all attention on the geometric Easter decoration. The repeating arrangement offers many ways to plan a color sequence, from two alternating shades to a varied pattern across the whole egg.
Curious Facts About Checkerboard Patterns and Easter Eggs
A checkerboard is created when squares are arranged in rows and neighboring spaces alternate in appearance. Similar grid patterns have long been used on game boards, floors, fabrics, and decorative objects. Eggs are associated with spring because they symbolize new life, and decorated eggs have become a familiar part of many Easter traditions.
