A wild title

Last night I took a couple of the photos from our recent Disney trip and made this layout for the color challenge at SOTB:

I would like to share with you how I did the "disney's animal kingdom" title. I use Photoshop CS, so keep that in mind.

First, I typed the title in and put the text in the yellow color that is in the patterned paper that is on the top right of the layout. Then, I took the patterned paper that is on the bottom left of the layout and put a copy of it on a layer above the type layer and hit CTRL+ALT+G to make it a clipping mask for the type layer. That turned my text into patterned text. However, it was very dark and I wanted something lighter and, if possible, that looked like a different pattern than the paper I was using to create the pattern. So, I took my paper layer and scaled it to 200%, making the pattern look different because the spots were now bigger. Then, I changed blending on the paper layer to "luminosity". That made the yellow color of the text come back, with the pattern over it.
