80+ Swirly, Curly & Floral Vector Resources
Tweet Swirls, Curls and Flowers are often linked together in the design world, and are extremely popular. There are hundreds of resources out there for those of you that like to use floral elements in your design work and illustrations.
In this post we have rounded up a huge collection of the very best swirly/curly/floral-based design elements, including vector elements, vector and pixel-based patterns, and Photoshop brushes.
Vector Elements
Vector elements can be used in your illustrations in Adobe Illustrator. They can be scaled from the size of an ant, to the size of King Kong. They can also be imported into Photoshop as “Smart Objects” (allowing them to still be scaled) or as pixels.
Illustrator & Photoshop Patterns
These patterns are a mixture of vector patterns and pixel patterns. However, they can all be used in both pieces of software.
Photoshop Brushes
These Photoshop brushes are compatible with most versions of Photoshop. They can also be used in other software similar to Photoshop such as GIMP.

Great collection of vectors, patterns & brushes. Thank you Callum to put all these together.
Even if it’s always a proud to make it all by ourself, there are designers over this small world that share with us really good ressources allowing us to concentrate on other part of the design. TY all.
That said, I always take attention on the licence: if it’s not free for commercial use, I don’t download. That way, no copyright piracy, I’m sure of what I’ve got on my computer & If I really enjoyed a design, I do it myself (if I can!!!), ask the permission to use it or pay for it.
Hoping my english is not so bad…
