Metremade desktop wallpaper

Noting my computer wallpaper fetish, Tess from Metremade sent me a link to their collection of patterned backgrounds. Help yourself right here. (In Firefox on a Mac, control-click the pattern you like. Choose "View background image," then control-click that image. Choose "Set as desktop background." If the image stretches to fill your screen, choose "Open desktop preferences" and set the display to "Tile."

    Oh my gosh!!! I love these. I am such a pattern girl. I'm going to have to save them all, along with yours, and have some type of rotating wallpaper thing going on, ha ha.

    Thanks so much!

    oh i love the orangey brown one but i have mac os x and safari won't give me the option to save it like firefox would. (i am very new to my mac) maybe i just don't know what i am doing. oh well.

    I can't figure out how to do it in Safari, either, if that's any consolation.

    Ooh I love these! I'm currently sporting the Poppy Over Rain pattern.

    Downloading them in Safari was a little too involved though. I had to look in the source to find the link to the .gif.
