create a new document at maybe 7x7 pixels or any size as long as its small make sure your image background is transparent and then zoom in to as far as you can go and get your pencil tool and in what ever color, in the top left hand corner click there and work your way down towards the right bottom hand corner, when done go click on edit and go down to define pattern and that will be saved for you to use later on, when you create a banner or whatever when in your blending options or layer style you can use that pattern overlay to repeat in any image and text or whatever you so desire.

hope that helps.

Simple get started by ofcourse drawing out the normal rectangle using the rectangle tool. Go to the WINDOW (on the toolbar) drop down menu and check the ''styles'' pallette. Once styles pallette is part of you photoshop window, click the small arrow on the top right corner of the pallette and youll get a drop down menu with all different styles, select the last one on the bottom-''web styles.'' Once the web styles are aprt of the pallette, on the web styles goto the style named TUXEDO (its not titled, but ull see the title if you have your mouse over it, found on the 4th row of the web styles pallette. Youll get a white bacground with lines, since you want a green one, from the LAYERS pallette double click on the icon that looks like an F and change the color (color overlay) once you get the FX window.
