Easy Way To Make Backgrounds For Thumbnails!

Here's my step by step process to making backgrounds. I this video I go through the standard grass hill/blue sky background that's seen the most, but this workflow can be applied to pretty much all backgrounds you make.
Just remember the golden rule:

Backgrounds should create context, NOT distraction.
