That's actually what I saw first, too. I meant to put this in as an option:

"Interlocking Spirograph-type design"

But I clicked "post poll" too soon, and one can't edit 'em.

I still have my original Spirograph, in its box, with everything complete except for the pens. It must be at least 40 years old.

I wish I still had mine!

It's funny, while I knew it was concentric circles, my eyes really did see "spiral".

I'm seeing a spirograph-like thing, too. I clicked "spiral" because it seemed closest.

Yeah, I'd probably have gone with "Interlocking Spirograph-type design". What I actually saw was a circle where I looked and spirals outside. That morphed to circles when I looked at them directly. Weird.
