3. Go to effect/ special puzzle. Right click
on the background color box, and choose color on screen so you can
pick a color from your gradient. Use a darker shade for this. Set
the square size to 23. Click ok. TIP: Use a gold color here for a
touch of gold.

5. Go to format/ hue and saturation. Move
the saturation slider down to -33 and the lightness up to 42. This
has muted your tile. This step is optional. You may want brighter
colors if you will use this in a table situation.
