There are a ton of tutorials out there on creating seamless background texture tiles. Most of them are for creating texture backgrounds. Most of the tutorials are pretty poor, which helps explain where there are so many really bad seamless background texture tiles available for free.
rg/make-re peating-se amless-til e- backgrou nds-with-p hotoshop/ o ad my own two cents. If at all possible, don't save the finished tile as a jpeg. The compression algorithm for jpegs always leaves artifacts that you hadn't planned on. Depending on your subject, the size of your tile, and the amount of compression, these can ruin your work.
Here is a tutorial that I think is fairly good.

Gifs are nice, as are PNG-8 and PNG-24 since they don't leave artifacts.
If the tut doesn't work out for you, let me know and I'll give you some more pointers.
