A note before we start. I would like to take this opportunity to say, my tutorials are nothing more than guides.

That's what the delete and undo buttons are for!.....LOL
Now let's get started and have some fun!
Please remember to save often if your PSP locks up on a regular basis!

    1. Open a new image 100 X 100 Transparent Background
    2. Flood fill with the color #F2DCD2.
    3. Add a new layer and flood fill with the color #E5B9A5.
    4. Image/Rotate 45 (Right or Left, it don't matter here) this layer only.
    5. Merge Layers Visible.
    6. Apply Simple's Diamonds Filter.
    7. Effects/Blur/Motion Blur 180 and 40 pixels.
    8. Apply Simple's Diamonds Filter again.
    9. Apply Flaming Pear's Ornament two ( 2 ) times.
    10. There you have it! A very pretty ribbon and bows tile!
    11. Now to test it, open a new 400 X 400 or what ever size and and set your background pattern to your newly made tile and flood fill it.
    12. For a couple of variations, Shift+D twice to make two copies of your original image.

VARIATION 1:

1. Using one of your copies, Apply the Effects/Artistic Effects/Glowing Edges set at
    Intensity 2
    Sharpness 0
    2. Then Colors/Adjust Brightness and Contrast with these settings:
    Brightness 40
    Contrast 0
    3. Colorize if you like!

    VARIATION 2:
    1. Using your other copy of your image, Apply Effects/Texture Effects/Sandstone using these settings:
    RELIEF:
    Blur: 3
    Detail: 9
    Luminance: 18
    LIGHTING: 315
    Color: White (#FFFFFF)
    2. Colorize if you like!
