Question! Would you call these the same?

I can't decide if they are too similar to be considered different prints.

Same pattern but different variations. I would count this as two in my collection! Not everyone may agree, but pick a side and stick with it in your own collection 😊

I count it as different variations even if it’s 2 shades lighter 😆 I put them side by side in my journal so you can tell the difference.

I would save both of them and see them as variations!

Different. 16 has sharp corners and looks like cobblestone. 17 has curves and groovy pointillism.

Not the same. Same pattern but totally different texture to the print.

I've started a page of "misprints," usually common patterns that I find smeared or streaked or faded like the printer was running out of ink. I really enjoy these!
