Hi Bruce, If you're working with the development version 1.38, using tiles is easy. They're called "patterns" in Scribus. Go to Edit > Patterns to either add a single pattern file or a directory with files. Any graphics file that can be imported into Scribus can be used as a pattern. To fill a frame background with a pattern, use the Properties Palette (Colours tab) and select "Pattern" in the dropdown list for gradients.
