Working from the outside of the crust in: 

Row 1: Place 1 strawberry slice followed by 1 blackberry. Repeat process  until 1st. row of circle is completed. In total, you should have 14  sliced strawberries and 14 blackberries.

Row 2: Place 1 raspberry below strawberry from row 1, followed by 5  blueberries. Repeat process until 2nd row of circle is completed. In  total, you should have 7 raspberries and 35 blueberries.

Row 3: Place 1 raspberry below raspberry from row 2, followed by 1  blueberry. Repeat process until 3rd. row of circle is completed. In  total, you should have 14 raspberries and 14 blueberries. 

Now work from inside of the crust out:
Row 4: Jumping to the center of the crust, place 8 raspberries in a  concentric circle. 

Row 5: Begin by placing 1 sliced strawberry with its point touching the  double raspberries from row 2 and 3. 

Continue with the rest of the  strawberries in a concentric circle. In total, you should have 7 sliced  strawberries.  Finish your fruit toppings by placing a raspberry in between each sliced  strawberries from row 5. In total, you should have 7 raspberries.

Or if you just want to enjoy, make any pattern you like with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries,  and blackberries, making them concentric circles or crossed lines or  zigzags or happy face or whatever. It’s gonna taste awesome no matter  what design you choose. 

Refrigerate until you are ready to serve. For a much easier cut, use a  small-serrated knife.
