Christmas & New Years
Watercolor Backgrounds!

The following backgrounds are done for full screen or tiles.  The images that show some distortion  in their links are the full-screen sizes.  The real files are fine!

I took the liberty of trying something different with two of the backgrounds done on blue construction paper.  I discovered this paper is very grainy and so my scanner picked up all the texture in different thickness (due to water absorption etc.).  It was virtually impossible to make those seamless.  The Snowman had to be bordered in Paint Shop Pro and the Snow Splats on the blue construction paper had the tops and bottom fudged to make it as seamless as I could.  But it's not 100%.  ( I recommend that as a fixed background if you can't use text or graphics to distract from the line.)  All the rest are pretty seamless and natural.

The full-screen images of the Christmas Trees and Santa I did on the sides to make room for your own text and graphics.  They reduced down for link buttons lopsided.  But the real files are fine.
