Yep, refer to "Seamless Texture Maker", "Weave", "Textile", "Lattice", and other ones of the same sorta thing. You can always find a stock of a velvet background and stuff too. There are some websites dedicated to giving free textures (though the ones I may provide are a bit more "grunge"-like): cgtextures.com, urbandirty.com, and bashcorpo.dk/textures.php are just a couple.

Thanks! I'll be sure to do that! You have been so very helpful!

all of those things are makeable in this program. just not one step though. I did a tut on cardboard in the tut section. maybe that can help you out.

glitter is nothing more than noise.

Thanks for the tips! I'll be sure to try them!
