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.)

Well, I hope you enjoyed these! Check back next week for another batch of free blog backgrounds! (I'm working on designing some vintage backgrounds, artistic backgrounds, pink & girly backgrounds... and much more!) I can't wait to share them with you! :D

Paisley and Pretties

As Summer draws to a close, I thought it would be fun to offer some free blog backgrounds that are 'transitional' in that they would fit both Summer or Fall.

The following backgrounds were designed using elements from the "Angel Mother" kit at Summertime Designs.

An Ode to Paisley
