Neighbours copying your design?

I copied your snapdragon tree pixel for pixel. I like to think doing so only once makes it more of a homage than a theft. (Is anyone remotely buying that?)

Repurposed decorations are my biggest temptation (snapdragon trees, railroad tracks, etc.), but except as temporary filler, I wouldn't copy a building design. That's not to say I'm above such things! Instead, I associate certain designs so closely with certain neighbors it would just be weird seeing those designs in my town. It makes visits more fun when I know I can see something unique, and I can't underestimate how big an influence neighbors have had on me as I struggle to find different ways of doing what they appear to do with ease.

Sorry, I can't answer the poll since no one steals from me.
