## Description

pattern.css is a CSS background pattern library and geometric texture framework. It provides a collection of CSS-only styles designed to generate repeatable textures such as grids, dots, and stripes for styling empty page backgrounds and user interface elements.

The project functions as a lightweight set of styles that creates visual patterns without the use of images or external assets. These textures are rendered using standard stylesheets to draw geometric designs directly in the browser.

The system leverages linear and radial gradients, composite layering, and native browser tiling to produce these textures. Users can modify pattern scale and color through a set of root-level CSS variables.
