Become Acquainted with Aqua

Aqua! I love it! :D Aquamarine is my favorite of all colors. Eh, well, maybe excepting pink. :)

Actually, when I think about it, I love Aqua best when I'm feeling peaceful, serene, graceful, and grown-up. :) I love Pink best when I'm feeling happy and energetic and bouncy and sweet and cute. :D

So! Enjoy these pretty backgrounds that all feature some shade of my {sometimes}favorite color, Aqua! Or Teal, which is like a darker shadow of Aqua. :)

Credit: The free backgrounds in this series were made using papers and elements from Friendly Scrap except for "A Little Bit of Aqua" and "Fresh Day", which were made using elements from Summertimedesigns.

Remember......For the sake of saving space, I have not posted previews of the three column versions of every background... (although I do try to do that when the three column version looks different.) ...the code is just underneath the 'standard' width code for each design. (They usually look very much like the standard width except that the middle section is just a little wider.)

To use a free background, copy the code underneath the background of your choice and paste it into an HTML/javascript gadget on your blog sidebar. :) For more details (and how to install a background into a Picture Window template, see the installation instructions page.)

...And of course there HAD to be a version with soft white flowers, too. :)

Patient Flower
I'm not really sure why I called this design "Patient Flower"... the little flower at the side seemed to be waiting for something in the most cheerful, patient manner... (I don't know, maybe I'm just nuts..) ;)

White Petals
This one looks sort of 'bridal' to me....

I'm FALL-ing for you!

Ah, September! I can hardly wait for that first "crisp" feel in the air! The 'official' first day of Autumn is coming very soon, too! In celebration of one of the most beautiful times of the year... early Fall... I made some backgrounds that echo the ambience of this delightful season.

Artistic Illustrations

*Imagine your favorite music playing*

I love this set of backgrounds. They're all very 2-d, and look like something you might draw or paint... and they're so artsy! :D Most of these are all very different from anything I've ever seen out there in blogworld. I have no idea if anybody but myself is going to even like them! But I enjoyed designing them, so even if nobody thinks these are any good, it doesn't matter to me. :D

Breathtaking Photography-Style Backgrounds

I am SO excited about this latest batch of FREE blog backgrounds! I found an absolutely wonderful place called Friendly Scrap with tons of free for personal use digital scrapbooking elements and papers, and I went to town designing backgrounds with them! (all the backgrounds in this post are designed using elements from Friendly Scrap).
These photography-style (with a transparent middle section) backgrounds are, granted, a little 'Spring-y'... but they were so pretty that I just couldn't wait until next year to share them with you! Lol! And I think you could get away with using some of them all year 'round. :)

For the sake of saving space, I have not posted previews of the three column versions of each background... the code is just underneath the 'standard' width code for each design. (They really look exactly like the standard width except the transparent middle section is just a little wider)

To use a free background, copy the code underneath the background of your choice and paste it into an HTML/javascript gadget on your blog sidebar. :) For more details (and how to install a background into a Picture Window template, see the installation instructions page.)
