We will start with the floral tile which has already beeen made seamless - save it to your system

right clik and select 'save image as'

Open the floraltile in PSP background to white  and make a duplicate of the tile using Shift/D and then press the delete key, ending up with a white background tile the same size as the floral tile.  You can make a second if you want to but there is really no need for it with a background tile since you will have to have one with a transparent background soon.  Also choose the square 'selection' tool.

With the white tile active then use the menu 'Mask/New/From Image'.

Make sure the 'invert  box at the bottom is checked, and the source luminance box.  Use the drop down box to select the image name of the floraltile, then clik OK.  Now you will see a white image of the mask.

In the lower right hand corner, you will see the size of the image in pixels.  Using the 'File' menu, choose 'New Image and set the size to match the size on the screen - the first number on the screen is the width;  second is the height;  clik OK.

The new image is now active, so clik back onto the masked image and then use the Layers control box to clik on the highlighted layer and drag it to the new image - when the tool is over the new image, the tool will turn into a box with a plus in it when you are in position.

Next, clik on the new image to make it the active image.
 From the Selection menu, select 'From mask' - your 'marching ants (?) will appear around the entire graphic.

Now from the Mask menu, select 'Delete', a pop-up window will appear asking if you want to merge - select 'yes'.

Making sure your tool in use is the square selection tool,

clik anywhere in the middle of the graphic ONE time - this will select the actual graphic area of the image making 'little ants' crawl over the middle of the image.

While they are crawling around, go to the Image menu and find your 'Eye Candy'  cutout filter;  match the settings above for this first time.
Direction=128
Distance (pixels)=0
Blur=9
Opacity (%)=71
Shadow Color=white
Fill color=white
then clik OK.

Now, we will Blade it with your Blade Pro.  I chose the BlueSand preset available from my presets set 9.  The button just below the dice is where you open other files and set you path to the BlueSand preset, or another if you prefer - use Blue sand if you can to avoid wasting time finding one that will work - then clik OK.

From the Selection menu, select 'none'.  From the Layers menu, 'Layer 2' is check marked, select 'Layer 1' and recheck the menu to make sure 'Layer 1' is now check marked. (I know, I know - but at least we got rid of the ants!)

In the top right hand corner (I hope) clik on the foreground button (shown cyan in the image) and set the color to '#62F5FC' which is cyan.  Clik on the fill tool that looks like a bucket and then clik on the graphic.  Your Jacquard tile should now match the one above.  From the Layers menu, select 'Merge all (flatten).

Your tile is now complete and will tile perfectly.  You can use it to make a side border, buttons, or use it as a background as you see fit.

Using different presets, complimentary colors and graphic tiles will give you an endless variety of old fashioned jacquard fabric looking backgrounds.
