CSS background-repeat: round

Stuff like :focus-within, prefers-reduced-motion, and prefers-color-scheme suddenly make their way into CSS without us really finding out for months or years.

.my-element {

  background-repeat: round;
}

This background effect is really nice, as clipped backgrounds cheapen the look of any element!
