layered design patterns

Damasks or floral motifs are usually placed either on a plain background or are so intricately made that the background sometimes seems to get "dissolved" so to speak in the entire print. I have rarely seen arabesque  or floral banquet designs with geometric designs patterns running in the background or layer on layer of the same print motifs, perhaps it is avoided because one wants to see the intricacies in its full glory or perhaps the concept "less is more" is readily followed while creating a design.
This subject obviously piqued my interest and I took on to my self  to merge and create designs with bus backgrounds to make the design seem to have more depth with an interesting background to floral prints.
Here are two designs depicting such an idea.
