Although it is fairly simple to create a pattern of overlapping circles, it can be very tedious to choose all the colors, and hard to be accurate to create really seamless patterns.
That is why I created this script to generate an array of seamless designs with various options: not only you can choose your own color palette but you can choose to have thin, medium or thick outlines. You can choose to have only the outlines using your colors, or also have filled overlaps. You can choose to have a single design, or a larger one with more variety. You can even generate up to 25 tiles in one run of the script. Of course, it is likely that the randomness will create a few identical patterns, but it will only take seconds to have that many to choose from. Save the ones you like, delete the others.

Being in the holiday season, i created a set of 20 seamless tiles with traditional red, green and gold colors. Some tiles have only outlines, and some have filled overlaps. They are all 600 pixels wide, so you can easily size them down for more variety.
Each tile is a png format, and has no background. This allows you to add it to any color background, or even to an existing textured paper. The possibilities are just about endless.

Corel Challenge
This week, the Corel Challenge is about Red, Green and White projects. That would be perfect if you were to use those tiles to create your project or a frame or collage. What do you think? Can you create one and post it on the Corel page HERE?
And why not check the Paintshop Christmas Master Class video (which is free to watch) and create a Ribbon Tree or an ornament with those colors so you can submit it to their Challenge too? Another great way to combine two things together.
o wow this is great, just what I was looking for, I started to make an overlay myself, but a script is much easier as I can use it over and over again and choose colors.
I prefere the filled ones, but I’m sure with only lines we can make some great papers too.
I run to go and buy this one now.
Oh my awesome!! I see quilt templates and some interesting stencil templates. Oh the possibilities!!
I love it! I like the outlines, but I know I would use the filled one too. I saw a quilt at first too, but I know I will use it for a lot more than that! This is a must-have for me.
Thank you for the chance to win!
I like both!This is a must have script for me. Thank you for the chance to win.
