Subtle Patterns for your background needs

Thought I'd search for some backgrounds which I can use whenever I receive requests to update the banners of some websites I manage but the photo they send is too small to fill up the allocated space.

I stumbled across this wonderful site.  Subtle Patterns is the work of Atle Mo, who created this site as a way of giving back to the web and design community.  As such, the patterns are free to use.  Yay!

Head on to Subtle Patterns.  You just might find that nice background you were looking for.
