 The same made background you should duplicate (right click in the panel layers on the backgorund and then on duplicate layers and click ok). Be sure that the duplicate background is selected and then go on Edit>Transform>Flip Horizontal which what you've turned this layer horizontally. Mixing resume of this layer should be Lighten (in the panel layers like the mode: choose Lighten ). Now we have to connect those two layers and we are going to do this easily if we press CTRL+E (with this command the upper layer connects with the lower layer , and its is much different then the option Layer>Flatten Image which connects all exsisting layers in the working layer of the active window).

If you wish to do this approximatly, you could click somewhere on the picture and pull it, while doing this it is neccessary to hold Shift so that you won't lose the proportion.
