Probably a silly question but I downloaded this background but it is so small. What am I suppose to do with it?

Thanks!

It was done at 300dpi for an 8x10 so I think stretching it should be fine.

you'll never be able to stretch that image... it is only 100x96 pixels...
looks like you saved the thumbnail image for a link to an image.

That is probably what I did. Thanks for your help.

You have to choose - save TARGET as instead of save image as when you right click.

Ohhhh gotcha April...I always "Save As" and not "Save Target". Now I will have to find that website again. *heehee* Thanks a BUNCH!

Hmm. . .

I downloaded the file you attached & used it to fill a large (600 x 600 pixel) area. It tiles seamlessly, so perhaps that's what was intended. It's a bit 'wrinkly', so I resized it by 200% and then used the result for a fill in the same large area. I like the results a bit better -- might do a small amount of manipulation to reduce the highlights.

Here's a real quick tag I made from the doubled tile - then applied a Gausian blur to smooth it out just a bit. I used the tag outline I created yesterday. I'll upload the tag template later so all may use it to create their own, customized, tags.
