Textured Backgrounds

Open a new image 100x100 with a white background.
Now select Image/Noise/Add with setting; % Noise=any (I did 75%), Uniform or Random (I selected Uniform). It all depends on how granular you want your background to be.
Select Image/Blur/Gausian Blur Radius=1.00.
Now choose Colors/Grey Scale, then Colors/Increase to 16 million.
Now Colorize by selecting Colors/Colorize and setting the Hue and Saturation to obtain the desired effects.
