Aside from the work, I'm having such fun learning Photoshop Elements with the Pixeladies!
I know it's hard to believe, but the bottom image is four of the upper images arranged in a symmetrical pattern.
Doing these projects involved exploring and playing. Asking oneself, "What would happen if...?" is one of the best questions to ask during that process and best answered by doing!
With the program's tools, there is nothing like pushing one's imagination to see what can emerge. So, I used two drawings as source images for project work yesterday. One is an abstract, the other is a face. Because I love symmetry and mandalas, I like creating 4-patch patterns that are symmetrical. Through the course, I've now learned how to use the program to create a repeating design with 4-patches.
Here is the abstract source image that was color-edited followed by the resulting 4-patch:

Next is a face I drew earlier in the year that has been color-edited plus multiple filters and a gradient applied. The second photo is of the 4-patch created from it, and the third is the repeating pattern of the 4-patch. In the last photo, through another color adjustment, the secondary pattern has more strength and the face recedes a bit in prominence.
