Repeating tile blog backgrounds (free!)

I've really enjoyed making repeating tile blog backgrounds in the last few months. With a repeating tile background, you can have a fun graphic on your sidebars, one that repeats seamlessly without visible edges. They're fun to make!

I decided that once I've "retired" a repeating tile background, I'll make it available here so that anyone who wants to, can use it. And when I'm feeling creative, I may make tiles just for giving away, without using them myself. (I made a few last night; see below.) I'll update this post periodically, and I'll keep a link to it in my blog sidebar so you can easily find it.

So...how do you use these backgrounds? Blogger Buster has a fantastic, free tutorial that should really help you, if your blog is on the Blogger platform. Just click here. If you use Wordpress or another platform, you're on your own!

These backgrounds are free for the taking, for personal or commercial use. But do not sell any of these backgrounds or claim that you designed any of them yourself. If you'd like to put a link on your blog sidebar to this post, that would be fantastic, but it's not required. And if you'd like to leave me a comment letting me know where you used one of these, that would make me happy.

This method also works for tiny/busier backgrounds. I've used it on my blogs with much success. Works seamlessly. (Haha, get it?)

Thank you so much for these. I am not making a change for Christmastime, but will keep watching when you do changes again.
