Simple technique, many variations
J
ust make
your tile with the dot in the color you want, and then play around with it,
changing the angle, the size, the scale and the colors. You can also make the
dot a bit grungy by using the eraser tool, or add some noise.
Adding a
second layer with polka dots to your paper, with dots just a bit smaller then
the first one will give you a bull’s eye pattern. You can also choose to move
the second layer with dots so that the placement of one type of dots is in
between the other.
Try to give a bevel to the dots, that will change the effect and your
paper will look completely different. You can play around trying different
bevels and see the effects that it will give on your paper. Even a shadow can
give you a great effect.
