Make your own plaid background patterns

You never know when you might need some digital tartan. Customize your own weave and colors right here, then download a square to tile seamlessly. Make your Twitter page Scottish or take your website on a picnic. This is the traditional Jones clan tartan, above.

    I was going to ask if Alex knew that, but I guess I don't have to, since you added your P.S. :)

    If you could print your "Jones clan Tartan" onto fabric, and then send it to me, that'd be great. :-) Ha!

    Very cool gadget, thanks for sharing!

    Why did I not have this months ago when I was building a book cover with a tartan I had to recreate? I ended up using the letter i to create the effect I needed. It worked, but it also nearly killed me.

    It fits into the 5-minute break. Definitely not the 25 minutes of actual work!

    Thanks so much for sharing.
    I was looking for a plaid in some specific colors a while ago and couldn't find any... so this is just perfect.
