What's the easiest way to repeat a selected portion of an image over and over many times (say 100 times or more)? As an example, let's say I want to make a string of hanging lights. I can't find a quick way of selecting a single bulb and "stamping" it over and over.

I can make a brush from the selection, but I lose the colors in my original selection when I draw using the brush.

I can duplicate the layer, but that requires subsequent moves each time and is WAY slow.

Ideally I'd like to just click to "stamp" a duplicate of the selection and have each of my newly stamped bulbs (or whatever) reside all in the same layer.

Doable?

Verification: What is our favorite program/app? (Hint - it begins and ends with the letter P)
