Use your rectangle tool and for your foreground color choose pattern, then that paper choose your paper choice. Click on your transparent box on your background layer, so it’s null. I used the top tool bar settings: Box for Create on a Vector checked, Horizontal: 200, Vertical: 200, Line Style Solid, Width 35.35 and Uncheck Anti-Alias box. Don’t make your frame to large, see mine to reference. You can always hitundo when you want to try again.Once happy with your size, convert to a raster.
