Are you willing to share your method for creating the 'Flower of Life' background to the eye?

Are you willing to share your method for creating the 'Flower of Life' background to the eye? Patterns like the flower of life are just circles + math. When creating sacred geometry, I almost never manually position stuff, I just draw the shape and then manually adjust the position/scale using numerical values. It allows me to precisely control the offset of shapes to create tile-able patterns. I always symbolize the finished shapes as well, so that I can reuse them in future projects without manually positioning again. Hope that helps, unless maybe I misunderstood what you were asking?

I was really wondering about the numbers. I tried to do it once by using hexagons to get the circles aligned correctly, but I gave up because I found it too fiddly.
