You got it made for posters. :-) I used a combination of Rochr's and Incarnadine's techniques for my poster, though. For a rug ... there's a technique for, frex, the rug in my room. I created a weave in Photoshop. You can use that even in the old PS 4, just go to Texturizer. Then created a terrain in Bryce, erased everything with the New button. Then used the pic of the weave to create the surface of the terrain and lowered the terrain until I got something I was satisfied with. (As Incarnadine said, the keyword is thin.) Then just the mandala photo I had to create the texture. Use Object top and put Bump Height to zero. The terrain is enough to suggest a thick pile rug. You can use a similar technique to suggest the canvas of a painting close up, putting a PS weave for bump height.
