  Karen,
I suppose you're speaking about creating backgrounds while editing your pictures.
In Photoshop I very often play around with different layers, filling a layer eg just with a color and then use different filters. Of course you have first to extract the picture you want to keep and then apply the filter or a combination with filters. Of course you also can merge with another picture you have been adjusting first etc etc

  Or if you want a shortcut, go to ebay and do a search under Digital Backgrounds. You'll find a ton that sell 100 on a CD for about $10. Of course it's more limiting than doing it yourself, but if you lack the time, knowledge, or creativity, it's worth it!
