Let's go
. Good luck.....

1. Open a new image 400 X 400 > Transparent.

2. Foreground to #7491b9.
Background to #2b4365.
Foreground to gradient.
Look for the "Fore-back" gradient.
Texture unchecked (bleu hand).

3. Now put your background style to pattern
and look for the silver pattern from the ZIP.

4. Your menu has to look like this:

5. Fill your image with the gradient.

6. Selections > Select all.
Selections  > Modify > Contract with 2 pixels.
Selections > Invert.

7. Fill the selection with your right mouse button (the silver pattern).

8. Effects > Plugins > Ormente's Filters > Miropads.



Notice!!!!
You have to use this filter, with this settings,
every time you have filled a selection.

9. Selections > Invert.

10. Repeat the Ormente's Filter.
Selections  > Modify > Contract with 35 pixels.

If all went well you'll l have a dark blue fill now.
