AWESOME resource. I’ve been looking for a decent list of bgs and you’ve nailed it. Good work!
nice collection. i like stripes. :)
We have around 100 pattern styles in thousands of colored variations… and you can customize the colors as you wish: http://www.COLOURlovers.com. Cheers.
this is great —- thank you so much !
Thanks for the list. Though, backgrounds should come with some words of warning: be sparing… remember white space… less is more…
Another good site: http://www.filterforge.com/filters
Really awesome texture generator with a ton of free ones to use for anything you want. I use them all the time in SecondLife
Thanks for including my site in this All-Star Line-up of background artists!
Reggie from hipandtwendy.com
Really SWEEEE…EEET list. Thanks!
That is what I call a reference list! Nice job collecting all those sources. I predict to come back very often on this page as well as share it to many colleagues. Congrats!
Just what I was looking for. Thanks for the collection.
We’ve just started to release a selection of free vector patterns at patternhead.com http://www.patternhead.com/blogs/patternhead_news
very useful for me. Thanks!
Great resources.
Thanks for the post.
Great list, thank you for sharing!
I recently started a site at http://patterrific.com where I offer free seamless patterns. Just have a look, perhaps you find something interesting for you!
Best wishes
Sabine
Some good stuff! Bookomarking this to look back at a later date when I need some thing like this
Great resource for website designers/graphic designers. Thanks for the continued support.
Either Stripe Generator or bgmaker is pinging my Avast Antivirus program. Coule be false positive as both loaded fine after the warning which said it was blocking a third party site.
I like squid fingers. I’m also into clean backgrounds as well as grungy backgrounds as well.
Great post.. I was looking for a long time for these background pattern.. Thanks~!
