This tutorial will show you how to make plaid papers in PSP. The screen shots are from PSP X but the same rules apply to 8 & 9. You will need to start by creating your pattern. Think of it like a small swatch of material. Open a new document 2 in x 2 in, 300 resolution and transparent back ground. Now its time to build your plaid. It is important to remember that the width of the lines in your swatch will be smaller in your final paper so dont make them too small unless you want the color to be very subtle. Also, you need to consider if you will want a background color, or if you are going to have your lines fill 100% of the space, in which case you will need to be more precise with your stripe sizes.
