I was initially a bit underwhelmed with Photo betas Pattern fill tool as I prefer to use vectors for this kind of thing, but just had a thought today about using Publishers Data Merge layout tool to create vector patterns and it turns out to work really well, at least for my usage - I'm not really up to the job at making tutorials, but thought I'd make a few screen captures in order to share the technique - it really does seem powerful and doesn't seem to slow down the way the old step and repeat symbols technique does

First here's an earlier post from today where I first began messing around with the technique - this covers the basics of how to set up a repeating pattern

And heres the technique put into practice on one of my old cartoon illustration jobs - hope someone can make use of it
