[Gimp-user] Working with images

[Deborah Bates <batesd124204 gmail com>]

I'm new to Gimp and not familiar with some of the terminology, so please
keep that in mind with your responses.  I have an image of a diamond that I
have scaled from 100% to 50%.  I want to duplicate that image side by side
all over the screen to use as a background.  What is the best way to do
that?  Thanks so much for your help!
