It's useful (especially the base64 part), but I didn't see any way to actually "generate" a pattern. Maybe call it a CSS Pattern Editor?

Also, it would be easier to use if painting didn't use mouseup. Using mouseover+mousedown would be nice for dragging the mouse to paint.

I get your point, but I think "generator" sounds cooler than "editor"… plus it's still a "generator" in the sense that you "generate" patterns yourself by clicking with your mouse :)

Great feedback about the mousedown though, I'll have to add that to my list.
