Who Knew Paisley Was So Hard Make By Hand?

All I wanted to do was make a repeating purple paisley background for my website in Photoshop. I guess I never noticed how intricate a paisley pattern is. Three hours later... I'm pleased with how it turned out though. The trick is all in the layers and using the offset filter to make the patter repeat correctly.

I found two great free paisley brushes, one by debh945 on Deviant Art and the other from Obsidian Dawn. You can download my paisley photoshop psd file here if you want to see how I did it.
