I came up with this two weeks ago, just spending some time noodling with postscript and the libraries I've written to make it easier to work with. Here's the source:

/ncircle { /n arg /rad arg /y arg /x arg
    x y translate
    n {
        0 0 rad 90 dup 360 n div add sparc
    } circrepeat
    closepath
    x neg y neg translate
} def
/tcircle { 3 ncircle } def
/hcircle { 6 ncircle } def

Hopefully you can see how my circrepeat and hmirror (yes, there's also a vmirror) make it easy to play with lines and come up with something fun without much tedious work. Some of this was happy accidents - the triangular structure connecting to the outer pie-shaped pieces was supposed to be a large triangle with rounded edges, but I messed up the arc direction and decided I liked this better. I'm proud of making it easier for myself to easily create.
