I made these repeating mosaic seamless tiles by using Spray for Xara, nothing to techy but they work fine as seamless tiles, not sure to what use though

Hi Sygg—
No bitmap is an island. I can think of a use for your tile right away, just not in Xara.
It would make a great bump map for a snakeskin texture!
Hey, try thin with a decent sized copy and Xara's Live Effects bump filter.

I once rented a flat in Cheltenham and the kitchen wallpaper was a bit like the attached, only more garish, think primary yellow orange and purple (this was the 1970s). Needless to say we ate in the dining room. Inspired by Gare's interlocked circles, I made a variation of my own for this. The .xar file is attached.

@Bob, regarding your flat's wallpaper—
I like the colours you used, forgetting what your wallpaper inspiration might be.
And don't hesitate to overlap elements! Those circles and paperclippish-looking guys could be overlapped.
My Best,

Hi Gary,
not to sure what you mean with "thin" anyhow I tried the bump map and the result I got was rather snake like, although I doubt the colour. I've uploaded the xar. file in case anyone wants to adapt this or find use for it.

Hey, there are a lot of uses for a seamless tile. Stygg's would also make nice panels for a leather-working brochure.

That's really good short clip of colours on snake skin, how did you make that? I've tried but can't achieve it.Originally Posted by Gare
