Can anyone help with making a collage of bottle cap images ?

So I always see people make and sell their own digital collage sheets where the images are already in one inch circles so all I need to do is use my circle punch and pop them out. Same thing with domino sizes and inchies. I can't afford to keep buying sheets. I have so many images and photos that I have done that I want to make stuff with, I just can't figure out how to make my own collage sheet of circles and squares. I have Photoshop CS4 and also Scrapbook Studio Deluxe. Anyone know how to make the collage sheets ? Thanks

In paintshop you would select and copy the image you wanted, then paste it to your workspace as a new layer, then select the move tool and move the new layer to where you wanted it. Keep doing that until you've filled your space. I imagine it's similar in photoshop, but I will have a look in minute and get back to youHappy

I've had a play in photoshop and this is what I managed.
Open the pic you want to use and also open a blank new workspace.
Use the elliptical selection tool to select circles or rectangular for squares (soz I'm stating the obvious, I'm used to dealing with ppl who don't know a jpeg from a clothes peg lol). Make your selection and copy. Click on the new workspace and paste. Use the move tool to move your selection to where you want it.
