Perhaps with "Pattern" as the theme's focus, all the items should be in focus to emphasize the concept of pattern.

Boy, I wish this was in color instead of black and white. They look yummy. Good repetitious swirl pattern.

eww, that looks like hershey's syrup on tom. That grosses me out for some strange reason. I can't help but think this might be better in color.
