june wallpapers – freebies

june1

I’m back, and I’ve brought shiny things! Pretty wallpapers for you to use during the lovely month of June! June is one of my favourite months because it’s summer, but not Summer™, which here in Hungary usually means 40 degrees of face-melting sunshine and sweat. However, it does also mean an excuse to eat ice cream, so I’m not complaining too loudly. (Sidenote: why am I using so many italics today?)

Anyway, here they are – check them out after the cut!

wallpapers! – freebies

I don’t know about you, but I find that whatever wallpaper is on my laptop really affects my mood.

Which unfortunately only really leaves me one option – to make some!

So without further ado, here are 5 backgrounds I made using textures made by Pink Sherbet Photography @ flickr (go check out their album if you’re ever looking for good-quality free textures!)

Take a look after the cut!
