Never Ending Background

What you will need:

VM Distortion - HERE

Simple Filter - HERE

1.  Make a 100 x 100 transparent square - I used 200 x 200 for examples to show up here but 100 x 100 is really big enough for most stationeries.

 2.  Flood fill with a dark color from your image, in this example I used #B51021 from the floral arrangement above.  Now pick a light color from your image, in this example I used # EFCE18.

 3.  Take you paint brush with a setting of size one if you want fine lines or a setting of size two will make it bolder.  Now have fun - make a bunch of scribbles on your flood filled dark image with your lighter color.  Here is an example of what I used in the image above. 

4.  Effects - Plug in Filters - VM Distortion -   Kaleidoscope: 

• Settings:  Divisions 206  

• Rotation: 147   

• Hue 0

7.  Effects - Simple Filter - Quick Tile.  Your tile should look like the sample at top.  The reason I called this never ending as it seems like you can keep doing different variations and they never turn out the same.

The following examples will show you what can be from one tile with different settings:
