Here you go, a seamless pattern made in less than 5 minutes with clone tiler. I used a rounded rectangle for clipping so that you can see where the tiles meet.
This isn't quite seemless. I don't need the rounded rectangle to see the edges. Bulia, you have much clone tiler fu. You should write a nice tutorial.
I think there is a disconnect in this discussion. Now I haven't tried it, but to my knowledge misses some things that are very important. When your spashes reach the edge of the pattern you must make a copy and attempt to align them perfectly at the edge. This is very difficult. A tool meant specificly for creating seamless textures would know when an object was beyond the bbox of the pattern and create and position the opposing clone for you.
