The difference between a theme and a motif is that a theme may appear as a motif while a motif cannot be a theme. A theme is not necessarily explicitly indicated whereas a motif is always explicitly named.

Theme is the whole mood, while motif is like an illustration that forms a pattern when repeated in a manner, or can be used independently. eg. if HALLOWEEN is the theme then jack-o'-lantern is a motif, when INDIAN is the theme, PAISELY is a motif and so on.
