Library of subtle Background Images 2017

Surnames/tags: background patterns

This is a library of images created and sourced for profile pages at WikiTree by Lianne. This is currently a page in progress, so please return for updates. You are free to use these images on your profile pages, usually with appropriate credit.

The preview images do not do justice to the effect they make as a tiled background, so it is worth trying a few on your pages to see which one you like the effect of the best. You can always remove the background if you don't like it, or change it for something else!

This page is currently using "Grey Diamond Upholstery" as the background.

The tileable images are intended to be subtle so are muted or grey.

This page was created by and is maintained by L Trevarthen.
