TUTORIAL: How to make a seamless repeating pattern ALSO: Good images for pattern making

Thanks so much, that's really helpful to a novice like me. And those sites look really good too, that sort of stuff is hard to find.

This is the only one I had come across that looks as though they are proper repeated patterns: http://patterns.ava7.com/

I will bookmark those ones you gave and will be using them lots. Thanks again.
