I'm glad you all found it useful, I wasn't sure whether I should post it or not.

Gary, Thanks. Hey I didn't know about right clicking off the page to get back to the default background. Did know about holding down the CTRL key and dragging what ever color you want for the background.

Soquili, when I first was playing around with patterns/backrounds in Xara, I was slicing the extended objects and trying to eyeball the other part of the slice on the opposite side. This was mega work and often produced a fine white border.

Neat Butterflies Dale, I have a few butterfly objects hanging around maybe I'll play with them too.

Let's see what you come up with Bruce.
