Step 3.
We need to remove the white background... our pattern needs to be transparent over whatever future images we work with.
So we are going to make a new layer on top of our current one. Then drag our background down to the trashcan icon in the layers palette so that we can delete the white background quickly and efficiently.
When done, you should only see layer 1 in layers palette. _________________ If you have an an urgent question, please call me.

Name it whatever you want...

You can now select it in your layer styles as seen here:

I suggest doing these in both black and white and in both directions (left to right and right to left)
