Instructions

Screenshots
1. Open a new canvas, 200 X 200 pixels, white. Fill it with a gradient of your choosing. To learn how to apply a gradient in Photoshop, click here.
2. Go to Effects or Filters, depending on your program>Redfield>Lattice Composer with these settings. You can save these settings by clicking on the drop-down menu. I called mine Open Weave.
Click apply.

It should look like this, but it won't be exactly seamless yet.
3. Go to Effects or Filters> Simple>Pizza Slice Mirror with these settings. Click OK. It should look like this.
4. reduce opacity for a lighter effect
In PI go to Edit>Fill, white at 25% transparency
In PSP, right click in layer palette>new raster layer. Fill with fill tool, white, reduce opacity in layer to 75%
In Photoshop: Layer>New>Layer, then using the Paint Bucket tool, fill with white, go to the layer palette and reduce opacity to 75%
