How to Repeat an Image in Gimp
Gimp is a freely distributed image-editing program that can be downloaded to your computer. This powerful program is similar to many other full-featured image-editing applications, in that it provides you with numerous options for modifying your images. One of these options gives you the ability to repeat an image on a canvas by using the "Tile" filter included with your Gimp installation.

Tips & Warnings
You can also apply a "Seamless" effect to your repeated images, which eliminates the harsh edge created by the borders of your image. Before applying the "Tile" filter, click "Filter," "Map" and "Make Seamless." This effect modifies your image so that each repetition of the image seems to flow into the next one.
