When light and used in moderation, tasteful background graphics can add a touch of warmth and/or originality to an otherwise dull page or HTML table. Our collection of background and tile links will help you find just the right backdrop for your project without having to "reinvent the wheel" by massaging your own images.

Absolute Background Textures Archive
Over 4,000 (and growing) background tiles and borders for use in Web pages. Conveniently sorted by color and pattern. Individual downloads are free; the entire collection (including clip art, graphics, and fonts) can be downloaded en masse or ordered on CD for a one-time charge.

Rather unique collection of "Rock Art," i.e., rock carvings and drawings from ancient cultures. Return link required for use.

With image and design tiles and borders. Includes "double background" sets (pairs of light/dark backgrounds designed to complement one another). Return link required for use.
The Background Tile Sampler
JPEG and GIF tiles for use as wallpaper and background. Metal, wood, walls and floors; other categories available.
The background-image attribute
From the W3C. Description of the background-image attribute and its use as of CSS2. Note that the use of the background= attribute directly within HTML tags is either non-standard or deprecated HTML.
