Abstract: An ornamental sequin system including a selected visual adaptation provided in a visual plane of at least one sequin to form an ornamental sequin system surface of interlaced colors or images is set forth. A novel method is also set forth. The method includes the following steps: forming a sequin base material; and punching the sequin base material to form a plurality of sequins, the plurality of sequins containing both information required to form an ornamental arrangement and positional information, thereby adapting the plurality of sequins for application to a surface.
