Triangular shapes are easy to make and they can yield great results when used as a repeating pattern. However, the challenge is usually to mix and match the colors. This is what the script will do for you as it can generate up to 20 seamless tiles in one run, using any color palette of your choice.
The script will also leave the background color layer separate so you can change it or even use only the top layer if you want to cover a full size gradient with it for a completely different look.

For a sample, I generated 15 tiles (3 tiles for each of the 5 patterns) in pastel/Easter/spring colors. Use them at 100% scale or smaller if you prefer. You can also add a blur to the finished image if you want.

These chevron patterns can be that additional effect you want in a paper. You can choose to use any color palette, whether it is bright, contrasting, pastel or monochrome.
As a sampler, I ran the script on a full-size paper (3600x3600 px) and chose option 3 for the chevron pattern. I picked the color palette from the July Blog Train at DigitalScrapbook. You get one paper with a white outline and one with a black outline.
If you want to combine a set of papers into a new design, you can create this brick wall pattern. But doing it manually, is absolutely tedious and difficult. Which is a good thing there is a script for that.
For a sampler, I am offering you a greyscale version of the pattern in the preview. There is no background so you can use any color or paper for it. To colorize the bricks, you can either use the Colorize command over the whole image, or over a selection of some bricks or rows. But if you want to be fancier, you can duplicate this layer, lock the transparency and paint over some bricks, and then change the Blend mode.
Some designs might be quite tedious to create, and even more challenging when you want some variety, in thickness and colors.
As a sampler, I used a simple color palette of pinks and blues, I chose 8 tiles that you can use for your own papers. Add a similar color as a background and it will make some "lines" disappear, creating a completely different look. Have fun with these tiles in PNG format.
Creating new paper designs can often be a tedious task. You can either hand draw them, or use a template. Either one has its drawbacks.
For a sampler, I simply share the PNG version of three tiles created with the script. You can use them with any background, change the color, adjust the scale or the angle. Once merged with a background paper, you can add some grungy edges or textures.
If you want to create new patterned papers, you can draw them yourself or use a readymade template. However, while using this script, you can create many more seamless tiles, using a single color palette of your choice. This will speed up the process.
As a sampler, you can get these 10 seamless designs showcasing soft spring colors.
When you want to create background papers, it is easy to create seamless tiles. However, it might be tedious to create your own design every time and you might also end up running out of ideas.
As samplers, I generated a few tiles and saved them for you in .pspimage format so you can use only one of the layers if you want, or even combine them between tiles.
Do you like the idea of creating your own complex seamless pattern? Do you want to make sure elements are not overlapping? Do you want a balanced distribution of the elements? Do you want to avoid too many blue buttons grouped together? It is sometimes hard to get that balance while making sure that the pattern is really seamless and does not show visible gaps.
As a free sample, I created this seamless "tile" from holiday picture tubes and this script. The tile is 1500x1500 pixels so you can resize it however you want, and you can add your own background color for different results.
This script will allow you to combine two patterns into one: gradient and stripes.
If you have some beach photos to display, you will like these four papers based on a "beachy" color palette.
It is always fun to get some random patterns as they are... well... always different from one another. But they are hard to create from templates since they would have the same pattern even if the colors can change.
Since Valentine Day is coming up, I thought of making some papers using reds as a starting color. So you have three full-size papers that will be perfect for your Valentine projects (you can also use the darker one for Christmas photos!)
