My own design using a division that is not traditional for Ukrainian pysanky but is seen in pysanky from other Eastern European traditions.
On this pysanka:
Eight-pointed star / rosette: life force, God's love
Baskets: providing for others
Flowers: charity and good will
St. Andrew's Cross: sign of the patron saint of Ukraine
Triangles: magical number three (pagan) signifying mother, father and child or the elements; the Holy Trinity (Christian)
Diamonds: knowledge
Final color, green: spring, rebirth; Christian interpretation is the victory of life over death
