I finally found a way to create some very nice backgrounds or patterns. You only need PSP7 for this, so everyone should be able to cope with this lesson.
I intentionally provide very few screenshots showing the colors I used. I want you to come up with your own combinations. Tastes vary greatly. You can stay in the same color family or mix different colors in the same shade. You can use a different style texture for this and even add more layers. For more layers, rotate every other layer.
PSP7 tool icons are from MaMaT's icon tubes.
"PSP" refers to
CorelTM Paint ShopTM Pro®.
