It is always interesting to use an actual photo and use it to create background papers since they will perfectly match.
This script will use random sections of the photo and create seamless tiles with a zigzag pattern. You can use those tiles in any scale you want to fill any larger canvas. You can generate up to 20 tiles in one run. Keep the tiles you like and discard the others.

As a sampler, I used this St-Patrick photo to generate 6 seamless tiles. All the tiles are 400 pixels wide but of different lengths. They all show some greens but also the white and orange from the Irish flag. This is perfect for you St-Patrick projects. If you find the colors too bright, you can blur them or desaturate them to suit your projects.
