These remind me of a country or a baby's room look. Click on them to see the full size images.
I started with a transparent image size 300x300. I flood filled this with the gradient Ultraviolet. Next I went to Effects/Artistic/Contours and used Custom 1. Then on to Effects/Geometric/Ripple with the settings shown in the capture below.

After Ripple, go to Effects/Edge/Enhance. Then go to Texture Effects/Textures and use the Patchwork preset.

Rotate All Layers left 90 degrees and apply the Patchwork again. Now rotate right 90 degrees. You can now add a new layer and add something for interest to your pattern. I used the Butterfly Tubes. I used the green butterfly and Colorized it to purple. Then I went to Effects/Edge/Enhance. Then I cut the layer opacity back to 70%. Merge and Flatten the Layers.
You can get a full 3D effect by selecting all and going to 3D, Inner Bevel and then use one of the Presets. I used Bead for image B. For image C, I used the Metallic before merging the layers. I made the background layer active and applied the 3D Metallic Inner Bevel to it only. Then I merged the layers.
Image D had some other effects done to it. After the Contour, I went to Enamel. I used Custom 5. Then I did the Ripple as above, but then I mirrored the image and applied the Ripple again. Mirror again to be facing the right direction.
Now go to Effects/Texture Effects/Soft Plastic. Use Custom 5. Add a new layer. I used the butterfly with soft brown top wings and bright orange bottom wings. I did not enhance the edge. I did colorize though and left its layer at 100% opacity.
A. Sunset Gradient Fill. Contour:
Custom 1. Enamel: Custom 5. Ripple with the same settings as
eariler.
Add a new layer and
use this butterfly from the butterfly tubes.
Now go to Effects/Texture Effects/Rough Leather. Use the default. I then used the Eraser, size 10 opacity 70%, to remove the shadow area below the butterfly.
B. Merge Flatten Layers and use Enamel, Custom 6. This creates a very colorful and interesting texture image.
C. Do not merge! Make the background layer active. Go to Illumination/Sunburst. Use the Top Center, Circle at 75. Do this effect twice. Now merge the layers.
