stripy paper

I love spotty and striped papers, but I always have difficulty finding it in the colour I need when I need it. So I decided to make some myself using my PC.

 I was surprised how easy it was to achieve. 

 I used Microsoft publisher to create the paper here.  I went into shapes, chose the rectangle shape and stretched the rectangle from the top to the bottom of the page, keeping the width of the rectangle to about 1/4 inch.

I then copied the stipe and pasted it 1/4 inch away from the first stripe. I repeated this step a few more times until I had a half a dozen stipes evenly spaced. Then copied all the stripes together and pasted the batch of stripes  over and over until I filled the page with stripes. Then I started to play with colours and adding lines around the stripes.
