Effect>Simple>Quick tile

4. G to
Effects>Funhouse>Polar Convergence, leave at default X3-Y6

(or set transparency to) 50%. I used #A1D074, a medium green
In PI go to Edit>Fill
In PSP, right click in layer palette>new raster layer.
Fill with fill tool and then in the layer palette, reduce
opacity using the slider
In Photoshop/Photoshop Elements: Layer>New>Layer, then using the
Paint Bucket tool,
fill, then go to the layer palette and reduce opacity

6. If you would like
a paler effect, use a white fill instead of a color
