Here is another one, this time I used bits and pieces of my Rhododenrons drawing and tried to artfully arrange them. I have also included the .xar file for the Daisies tile.

Autocorrect: It can be your worst enema.
You could use Live Copies so that as you edit an object on one edge the one on the opposite edge automatically updates.
And going further than that you could set up a 3*3 array of live copies of the whole tile design, so that everything you do in the centre tile automatically repeats all around and all the edge overlaps are done automatically. However, I've just tried that and it doesn't quite work. This needs a bit of thought...

@Phil—
Using Live Copy is a terrific way of quickly making variations on a tile that is set up properly, and thanks for suggesting this, Phil!
Here's an example; you have to be careful about using the Shape Builder and the Ersaer on a Live Copy that has a shadow, and I don't see where you can specify that the Live Copy lands precisely on top of the original, but none of this is a deal-breaker. All you do after Arrange>Live Copy, is select the two of them, Ctrl+Shift+L, align centrally, and you're good to go.
Try experimenting with the attached Xara file. You need the Pro version.
My Best,

@ Gare: At last I had an opportunity to follow your destructions. Once I got hold of the idea of the transparent bitmap copy resized as a repeating tile over the cheese & tomato it was easy. Thanks, Gary.

@ Bob...Tastefully done, Sir! (my destructions?!)
I created a 1961 counter top pattern, as long as we are on a kitchen theme here.
@Frances—the tapestry is BEAUTIFUL. Continue along these lines, I recommend. It's by far the m ost elegant and multi-purpose tile you have going on this thread!
My Best,
Gary

I made these repeating mosaic seamless tiles by using Spray for Xara, nothing to techy but they work fine as seamless tiles, not sure to what use though

Hi Sygg—
No bitmap is an island. I can think of a use for your tile right away, just not in Xara.
It would make a great bump map for a snakeskin texture!
Hey, try thin with a decent sized copy and Xara's Live Effects bump filter.

I once rented a flat in Cheltenham and the kitchen wallpaper was a bit like the attached, only more garish, think primary yellow orange and purple (this was the 1970s). Needless to say we ate in the dining room. Inspired by Gare's interlocked circles, I made a variation of my own for this. The .xar file is attached.
Bob.

Hi Gary,
not to sure what you mean with "thin" anyhow I tried the bump map and the result I got was rather snake like, although I doubt the colour. I've uploaded the xar. file in case anyone wants to adapt this or find use for it.
