The Chocolate Series

I actually designed these FREE backgrounds a few weeks ago and haven't posted them until now because I had others I wanted to share first! :D But no longer will you have to wait for this set, because... here it is!
Inspired by Chocolate, all these designs feature some shade of chocolatey goodness. :) From white chocolate to dark, we've got a toothsome selection here to tempt you into adding one (guilt-free!) to your blog. :D


Credit: The free backgrounds in this series were made using papers and elements almost solely from Summertime Designs, with two papers from KevinandAmanda. I recolored many of them though, so you won't find the exact looking ones there. ;)
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.)

My brother Mark actually designed this last one himself! (With some help from me in using the tools on GIMP, and a few suggestions...) ;) But didn't he do a great job?? Maybe I can get him to do this more often if people like his designs... :D


Enjoy!

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.

Credit: The free backgrounds in this series were made using papers and elements from Friendly Scrap.

As always, I'd love to hear which of this series of backgrounds is your favorite... it helps me design more of what people like to see. ;)

Enjoy!

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
