Mulberry and Grape

Are there any fans of the color Purple out there? Raise your hand up really high so I can see it! There you are! Wow, look at you all.... :D

Me too. Purple is a dreamy, sometimes mysterious, sophisticated, lovely color. And I love it when you take purple and pink and blend them together into a beautiful shade I call "mulberry" ... it's not pink and it's not purple, but something in-between. 'Nummy! It's beautiful and delicious. :)

So! I hope you enjoy this fresh batch of backgrounds for this week! :) And don't worry, I'll be working soon on some of the backgrounds ya'll have requested. Some "green" backgrounds and I think some more Jane Austen themed backgrounds will be shortly forthcoming. And a bit farther along when winter gets here... I have some gorgeous, sparkly things up my sleeve for you! :D

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.)

Yum. So sweet and feminine... :) You'll have to be a girly-girl to enjoy these "Satin" designs. :D But I'm half an extremely girly-girl, so I love things like this! :)

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. :)

...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..) ;)

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.
