Thanks to @Pkeod initial shader I put together a neat example for parallax scrolling background with shader and thanks to input from @Mathias_Westerdahl, the background doesn’t have to be a power of 2.  
Get it [HERE](https://github.com/nezvers/DefoldPublicExamples/tree/master/TilingShader).

P.S. There’s plenty of comments for parallax layer script and I still don’t understand how to set up a camera (this one projects more than it should and the picture is vertically squeezed).
