What's the name for designs like this?

I'm sure there's a name for it, and I just don't know: http://imgur.com/a/8TSR4

It looks like the design that is frequently above dining tables (aka sub rosa): http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-sub1.htm

Also reminds me of the quatrefoil: http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-fancy-shape/

Doily?

The first one looks like a Mandala, repeating patterns of a circular nature.

The second one looks like a Doodle.

Paisley?

EDIT: Referring to the second one

I agree that the first is a mandala. There isn't enough spirality/curviness for the second to be paisley, but the pattern resembles traditional designs used in henna art.

Reminds me of henna tattoos.

Second on the Paisley.

Would the second one even have a name? To me it looks like a montage of designs.
