I want to make a background tile. I need it black, with various shades of golds and bronzes in swirls. I made the following but it looks dreadful. I don't know how to do it, and really need to do this asap.



I would love to accomplish what you see below in the red, very elegant and beautiful twirls and swirls. Any tips?



Thank you anyone who helps me. Big Grin

Wow, thank you. I love these.

I hate to be a pest, but how do you do get the image to flow? For example a tile?

well you could either take you time and edit each swirl so it joins to the next one or try and overlap them so it looks as if they continue, and with that idea you can (as long as each Brush/stamp is on a diff layer or not overlapping) use the transform tool to mirror the brush up/ down left or right.

Wow thanks for the tips, it worked well.


PS Oh yes, how do you change the colors after you placed them? A few times I used the brushes, on different layers with the same color and wanted to go back and edit the color for that layer?
