Saving a Repeating Tile

[DANDELION FAB23431385vlgq]

Hello Again,

How can I best save my repeating artwork as a repeating tile such as you see on Shutterstock (with the edges properly cropped)?

I have tried exporting, but always the artwork that extends beyond the tile shows up.  What are the proper steps?

Thank you,

Anna
