This is my own creation, any similarities to other tutorials is purely coincidental and unintentional.

Open a new image 350 x 350.

Choose a graphic of your choice.

Choose two colors from your image and make a gradient, Linear, Angle 0, Repeats 0.
Flood Fill your New Image with the gradient.

Add a New layer, selections, select all.
Click on your graphic, Edit, Copy, now on your Flood Filled image Edit, Paste Into selection.
Change Blend Mode to Overlay.

Layers merge Visible.

Add a 2 pixel border.
