I can't produce a seamless pattern for wrapping paper with tiling effect. Help please.

Hi,

I can't seem to get my pattern to tesselate seamlessly. It's a tiff 300 ppi image and I've watched several videos on tiling to help me solve the problem, but to no avail. Could someone please assist?

Looking a little closer I can see that the tiled image is not seamless.  The left side and right side of the image will not match up. Half of the flower bud is cut off so when tiled shows two flower buds attached at the seam as well as the background blue colors not matching up.  It is not a Zazzle problem but a problem with the image not being seamless left to right (though it is seamless top and bottom, thus creating a panel effect).

You could add the pattern (not the tile) as a background image. But it's not fool proof.

Appreciate this, particularly for this image.

Thank you! The other replies were very useful as well, but I can see the problem with this image. Appreciate it.
