In direct contrast to my old (personal) background stash - here's various backgrounds I've had hoarded for...god knows how long! Some of these may not be displayed at full size. (You can right click & open in a new tab to see & save the full image.) All I ask is that you host them yourself, and don't hotlink from me.

Under construction! Beware of falling pixels...

Free to use! If you're into that.

None of these are mine - and some had been sitting in my Photobucket for near-20 years, others were found using Wayback Machine, but to the best of my knowledge they should be freeware. If you somehow see your graphics here & would like them pulled or credited - please feel free to ask! (Updating as I come across them, feel free to check back!)

animated tiled backgrounds

Lots garbage in here. Some are quicker than others, click here if you need help disabling .gifs!

static character tiled backgrounds

Sanrio, Care Bears, whatever. Character stuff! Cartoon & otherwise.

Black & white! Greyscale! Whatever!

Check back later!
