Signs or patterns?

[poliwag0]

I want to have signs/patterns with pictures of villagers beside all the houses. But patterns are so flat, and sings have to be 10,000 spaces away... so which one should I use?

I'd use patterns so you don't waste pwp space, since you can only have 30.

I have this done in my town right now. It just takes a little time getting the pattern to look right

Should warn you, you can only do 8 custom design signs though.
I'm keeping them until I get more pwp suggested then changing to patterns.
