I gave my computer a facelift

Yesterday I grabbed a couple new computer wallpaper freebies from Simple Desktops. Both with a bit of orange, of course. I love these for their flat fields of color that A) don't hurt my eyeballs and B) enable me to find my files. I chose Vinyl Record by Daniel Waldron and Orange Pencil by Jake Dugard.

    Very nice! I love the record one! The egg design is cute too -- reminds me of polka dots (my obsession)! :)

    I literally just had the Vinyl Record as my desktop, until I replaced it with this guy:

    Too funny, I was just looking through there the other day. I almost chose chops.

    Also, as I was browsing just now I saw this cute little Christmas Camper. Then I saw who the designer was ;)

    I love the one with the 3 elephants. My favorite animal! Now this site is in my favorites, so I can change my backround whenever I feel like. Thank you!

    Thanks for the link!! At the moment my background is grey, because I can never find my files with other backgrounds!

    From here, anyway, the link is broken, with a 502 message. I also got a link that asked me to give my email saying I "won!" I hope it gets fixed, I love these simple wallpapers and have some, was looking for one for a friend.

    Eek, that was one of my favorite wallpaper sites! Looks like the links to the individual papers still work, but not the main site. Fingers crossed that it will return!
