The History

It was a rainy, stormy summer night, the time was 3:33 am.  I found myself sitting on my desk, in front of my computer.  What was unusual about this (other than sitting on my desk) was that I had already gone to bed at 11:00 pm that night, and I had no recollection of myself getting out of the bed, turning the computer on, or getting on top of my desk.  But what I saw on my computer screen was even beyond unusual.  I was looking at a freshly made background pattern! (a great looking one too, I may add) I could not believe my two own eyes; "How the heck did I do that?"

This strange behavior repeated every week, and a couple of months later, I was diagnosed with a rare disorder called "Pattern Lover's Sleep Disorder", but the cure for it is yet to be discovered.

So, that's how my pattern making got started.  Since I can't really use up all these lovely patterns myself, I decided to share them with people in need of such things, maybe someone like you.

Well, enjoy them and used them well...  and wisely...

New Patterns  (Patterns of the Moment)
Two latest patterns, usually updated every week.  One web pattern, and one desktop pattern.

Web Patterns
Perfect for your web page backgrounds, the text is easy to read on these patterns and they are very small in file size, which means they won't add much downloading time to your pages!!!

Desktop Patterns
Much larger in image size, but still not that big in file size.  You can use them for web backgrounds if you wanna get funky, but I would not recommend it.

Wondering what kind of gal I am?  This site will definitely answer that question.  It isn't another one of those "I love Leo!" kind of homepages, it's actually fun and interesting!  (well, that's what many people have told me anyway) In case if you are saying out loud the phrase "I'm from Missouri" right now, I pulled out some actual quotes from the letters that people (total strangers) from around the world have written to me about my photo site.
