I enjoy doing an occasional starscape, but I often find the scale of the stars on the existing background item to be distracting at full size. I’ve tried doing a grid of four quarter-scale pieces, but that gives an unnatural, repetitious uniformity. Finally, I put together a pastiche of twenty-something pieces at 40%, rotated and overlaid on each other in random ways. There’s still a discernible pattern, but once I start putting stars, planets, etc. on top, the pattern becomes less obvious. It’s a go-to background for me now; I thought others might like it.
