Lesson 2 Seamless Tile Backgrounds

This is lesson 2 for my Juelle Web Designs. We have to make a seamless background tile. My image is a picture I took last summer of a field of Texas Bluebonnets. Aren't they beautiful? First I have to pick 3-5 colors out of my image and make a swatch. I decided to use three.

My next step was to make a gradient square which I have here.

I have chosen to make my seamless background out of my image so I took the selection tool and picked out a square of bluebonnets I liked. Then I took that square of bluebonnets and used the Simple Filters Quick tile to make my seamless background.
