I'm actually interested in how you got the black dots in the middle main blue area of the background.

OH!
One way of doing it is selecting the region you want to be tiled, copying, then using the bucket (fill) tool. Be sure to set the mode to pattern -> clipboard. \o/

Oh, lol. The tiling THERE was done by hand, my me ^-^;;
Although, you CAN do easily/quickly/over a large space by: saving the image with extension .pat and in the file
My computer -> C: -> program files -> GIMP -> share -> GIMP -> 2.0 -> patterns (wewww
Then using the bucket fill tool, selecting "fill type" -> "pattern fill", selecting your pattern :3
If it doesn't show up right away, restart GIMP.
Uh ... did that make any sense? ^.^;;

that does make a little sense but i dont have gimp XP
so by saving it as a pattern into the program, you can just use it to fill the canvas?

Yup! Or .. at least that's how it works on GIMP ... o__O
I'm use other stuff can do that too!
You'll just have to figure out how ... GOOGLE! XD

Hey! This is cool! I didn't know about the offset trick, thanks!
What I usually do to get patterns is draw some random lines, apply a kaleidoscope, make seamless, make small tiles, and repeat. It makes for some pretty complex patterns. XD
This one is real useful for flower designs! Thanks! Thanks also for the Cloud tutorial! ^^
