This started off as my aqua dream frame - but I got half way through it and realized I'd used the wrong border tile. One of my kids did something and I clicked my mouse as I turned to see what it was - when I looked at the computer screen again I saw a complete accident ... with stunning results - naturally I played with it after that :)

Hope you enjoy my accident LOL!

OK - let's get on with it!

1. Open your image, press shift D to duplicate, then close your original. Now choose your selection tool (set at square) and choose a portion of your graphic that's about an inch and a half in height and width. Copy your selection then paste as new image, resize it to 50% then apply seamless tiling with the default settings. Minimize this tile for now. Deselect the selection on your first duplicate and size the image to your liking.

2. Add a symmetrical white border of 4. Click with your magic wand to select and flood fill with the background tile I supplied (border51). Invert your selection and apply my main pic cutout preset <H=0, V=0, Opacity 100, Blur 35> Deselect
