![]()
one click on the small gradient icon and copy the next values as is.

after you’re done with this, select those 2 layers by hold on CTRL and click once on each of the layers on the layers window. then, right click, duplicate the layers and then move it to the right with about 10px separator space. do this step twice (or more if you want more pages).

back to the pattern layer, select the pattern layer, choose the eraser tool, change the mode to pencil from the top bar and change the brush to soft round 33px.

then, just erase the parts of the buttons.
