The Sierpinski Carpet actually is a two-dimensional version of two other very, very famous Fractals:

The Cantor Set

If you think about ut, the Sierpinski Carpet consists of a bunch of squares, really.

And a square is two-dimensional. It has a width and a height.

Did you know that the Cantor Set is a One-Dimensional version of the Sierpinski Carpet?

It looks loke this:

But wait! It gets even better!

The Menger Sponge

Check out this thing:

It's called a Menger Sponge!

And - you guessed it - it's a three-dimensional version of the Sierpinski Carpet!
