Textured blue gradient backgrounds
My first attempt at a graphics/icon resource...
Blue gradient bg textures by ~kiya71677 on deviantARTDownload contains 15 abstract-like textures made from one of my own blue gradients.

15 assorted icons + 2 Friends Only banners w/matching icons

9 Christmas/Holiday & New Year's icons
I would like to thank everyone who checked out and commented on the first post; it's pretty nerve-wracking, putting these out for all of LJ to see, and I am very thankful to have received so much positive feedback. I do apologize for the lack of replies, but the morning after the post was made, the internet went down, and once it was back up the ( Read more... )
