Does anyone know where I could find a fabric similar to the pink one on the first picture? Or what that pattern might be called? Cane-print?

Thanks!

We made little reindeer ornaments out of sand dollars that we had collected on the beach in Florida...we got little eyes that we hot glued on, made antlers out of pipecleaners, a red puff ball nose (they were rudolph of course!), and tied little bows with "jingle bells" on the bottom. The slit at the bottom of the sand dollar looked just like a mouth, it was adorable!
