"Afternoon Tea" - NEW Free Blog Background for you!

You are going to absolutely love my newest background designed for my sweet followers.

As you know all us tea lovers are passionate about chintz;  I added a little lace...to get the "Wow"Factor.

Here is just a peek...

(This is a little peek)

I have piled a bunch of teacups in the center of this background and faded them a bit so you can see any post you create.
I have also designed a matching header you can install along with this background to make your Blogspot complete 

Actually, this header can be used with any background you are currently using too. 
I call this new design “AFTERNOON TEA”.
Just follow the easy step by step instructions for installing the background and the header into your BlogSpot.


You can preview how it will look by clicking HERE.

    Hi Mo,
    I just love this teacup background. I can't find the code for it though. You are so creative and so sweet to make these backgrounds free for your followers.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Hi Sandi,

    I have added the code back into my post. It must have gotten lost through my editing.

    It is so great to hear from you and I hope you end up using this background. I think it would be perfect for your blog. (of course)

    Thank you for letting me know about the problem!

    I really appreciate your help.

    *hugs*
