Vault Boy (Fallout 3) Pattern Request

Hi! Could someone please help me in obtaining a pattern for this image of Vault Boy + Text?
The size of the canvas will be 5.1 inches in width and approx 7 inches high.
I would like the image to be centered, portrait, and there to be a margin of about 3/4 of an inch to 1 inch surrounding.
Max 15-20 colours. I'd like to stitch the main flat colors visible on the image, so not too many extra colors for shading etc. Maybe one or two max.
Not bothered about the scratch marks within the text - would prefer just shading or 1 flat color.
I've tried using some pattern creating software but they fail to produce a clear black outline which I'd prefer.
Thanks so much

I just found out why I don't have a fancy 'Official Pattern Maker' thingy under my name.
I tried to make you a pattern using KG Chart. I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for but here ya go, anyways.. It's got 13 colours.
I'm curious about what you're looking for for the text. Would you prefer a flat black font instead of what is in the image?

For the text, I think I'd like a flat darkish, gray/greenish colour. Basically the same flat colour as in the image but the font itself to be solid where you see scratches in it.
I can't currently view the file you attached

I've tried to download KG chart but the website download link isn't working. Any way you could attach as JPG? No worries if not, will try getting KG again.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.. It's a busy week this week..
Ok. I changed the pattern hugely from what I'd originally posted. The text is all one colour. Vault Boy is clearly outlined in black. All extra colours were removed.
I tried my best to match the colours that were shown in the original picture you posted but I fear they might not be what you want. Please feel free to change them at will.
There are 12 listed colours that I used. I'm still new to KG Chart.
I really don't know how to convert *.sth files to *.jpg. Maybe somebody else could give it a go?

Zoom into the pattern until you can see the symbols on the pattern clearly. Go to File, Export. Choose 'Current View'. Click OK. Choose where you what to save the picture file and as what type, click ok, Done!

Have I mentioned before that I loved you?
I haven't?!
Well I do. Thanks, Servotron! I really am very new to KG Chart.
