This is just one way to make a tile in Paint!
There are many, many ways... draw, spraycan, paste, on & on
Play around with it, the more you do it the more you will learn on your own…
What you’ve learned here for Ms Paint, you can apply to other programs as well, making them even better…
...
Also ... these tiles made in "Paint" (Your own creations) can then be taken into different programs and enhanced/colorized/tinted ... on and on ...
Endless possibilities...

CONTINUING FROM THE ALLPOETRY BKGRD CLASS
http://allpoetry.com/class/show/Basic%20bordered%20backgrounds%20using%20MS%20Paint
THIS TUTORAIL WILL SHOW
HOW TO OFF-SET THE BODY OF A BACKGROUND FROM IT'S BORDER USING MS PAINT.
GIVING THE BORDERED BKGRD A MORE PROFESSIONAL/TIDY LOOK... [OPINIONS VARY]
THE BKGRD DOES NOT HAVE TO BE MADE WITH MS PAINT FOR THIS/
AND, IT WILL WORK WITH ANY BACKGROUND THAT HAS A BORDER
WITH THE SAME LIGHTER MATCHING BODY...
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE:
BEFORE: [BORDER BKGRD AT HALF LENGTH FOR THIS TUTORIAL]
[BORDER] [BODY]
AFTER: [BORDER BKGRD AT HALF LENGTH FOR THIS TUTORIAL]
[BORDER] [BODY]
STEP 1:
OPEN MS PAINT
CLICK FILE - PASTE FROM
FIND THE BKGRD THAT YOU WANT TO EDIT
HIGHLIGHT IT & CLICK OPEN
ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR BKRGD IN PLACE
1. CLICK ON EDIT - SELECT ALL
2. CLICK ON EDIT - COPY
3. CLICK ON EDIT - CUT
4. CLICK EDIT - PASTE
NOW
LEFT CLICK AND HOLD ONTO THE BKGRD
DRAG THE BKGRD DOWN TO HALF WAY (JUST GUESS AT IT)
LET GO OF THE BKGRD AND CLICK ANYWHERE OFF THE BKGRD TO DE-SELECT [SEE BELOW]
CLICK EDIT - PASTE AGAIN
MOVING THE BKGRD UP [ON TOP] OF THE OTHER [SEE BELOW] LINE THEM UP
NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE THIS BELOW:
OPEN A NEW MS WINDOW [YOU WILL HAVE 2 OPEN WINDOWS]
STEP 2
OPEN A NEW MS PAINT WINDOW
CLICK FILE - PASTE FROM
FIND THE SAME BKGRD YOU HAVE OPEN ALREADY
HIGHLIGHT IT & CLICK OPEN
[YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE TWO WINDOWS OF THE SAME BKGRD OPEN]
CLICK ON THE RECTANGLE SELECTION TOOL 
LEFT CLICK ON THE BORDER AT A CORNER STARTING POINT
AND DRAG THE - - - LINES TO COVER THE ENTIRE BORDER PART
LET GO - CLICK EDIT - COPY
NOW
CLICK BACK OVER TO THE OTHER MS PAINT WINDOW WHERE YOU'VE BEEN EDITING
CLICK EDIT - PASTE
NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS BELOW
______
CLICK ON IMAGE [WHILE IT IS STILL HIGHLIGHTED] AND FLIP/ROTATE
TICK FLIP HORIZONAL AND CLICK OK
.
HERE IS THE FINISHED BORDERED BACKGROUND
CLICK FILE - SAVE
...
THERE IS A SHORTER WAY BUT FOR THIS TUTORIAL I CHOSE THE LONGER ONE.
To give a better understanding...
The other way would be to work with the BORDER only...
it would end up looking like this
