Green Chile Background

I have started on my Christmas card designs for 2012. I am using red & green chiles for a Southwestern theme. This 4x6 background pattern was made with photos of green chiles. I have started using a triangular cutout instead of a square to create the pattern. That simple change adds a whole new dimension to the final image. I cutout an equalateral triangle or distort another triangle into an equalateral and place it in a square on my grid. I then flip it horizontally and rotate 90° to create my first square. As always, if you need help, I am happy to walk you through it via Skype or answer any email questions.
