I've looked in the big book of resources, and I went to some sites to see if they had tutorials on how to make these type of backgrounds but I didn't find any. Does anyone know how to make backgrounds like this?

This is kinda cheap and quick, but it works - I just did this with the pencil tool.

Get the basic design you want..



Then Edit>Define Pattern, OK.

Now, on your image that you want the pattern in, go to Edit>Fill, make sure "pattern" is chosen in the drop-down menu, and find your pattern.



Not quite the same as the picture you posted, but it still looks good and would look even better with a little work.

Thanks, one more question though. Are those gradients on the ends of the background I posted up?

e d i t

Can someone tell me how to put gradients on BOTH ends of this background?

Not exactly. I use Elements, but I figured that it'd have most of the same filters. =/

They don't have the same filters.

They have most of the same filters.
You have High-pass, posterize, Gaussian Blur, Motion Blur, Invert and Threshold, Mezzotint.... But I'm not sure which exact ones carry over.
So.... You can't put two gradients on the same layer? o.O I though you could.
