Create an Argyle Pattern

Finally something new on the tut front!  This should be a versatile pattern you can use for creating kit papers, backgrounds, and pattern fills.

This tut was written 18 February 2013 using PSP 9.

Create a Plaid Pattern

Here's an easy way to create a plaid pattern, and as a bonus, it requires no filters at all.  You just need PSP, any version should work, and actually, any graphics program should work I imagine.

Create a Chevron Pattern

I keep seeing chevron patterns cropping up all over the place, especially on Pinterest.  So I thought I'd see if I could write up a tutorial to create it to use it for pattern fills or to create scrapbook papers.  The result of this tut is shown in the preview image at the top.  I hope it will be of interest to some!

This tut was written 7 April 2012 using PSP 9, but I believe it should work in other versions of the program as well.  

Create a Houndstooth Pattern

Happy New Year!  Thought it was time to start using this blog and share an inaugural tutorial.  This tutorial was written 1 January 2012 using PSP 9.  It should work in other versions of the program.  The only filter needed to do this tutorial is Simple Filters - Diamond which is a free filter.  It's available here if you don't already have it.

This is my first attempt at writing a tutorial so feedback would be great - good, bad or otherwise.  Need more screenshots or less?  More explanations or less?  Thought I'd write this one up first since I used this same method to create the background on my blog here.
