Swirls and textures seem to make a better wallpaper background because they repeat well and blend in nicely (seams are less noticeable). Some florals end up looking like busy tiles, instead of wallpaper. These all work well:
They can be changed into any colour you desire with photoshop. . . . I'm still working on learning that :-)
Hi Laurie, So sorry for the slow reply (this is my sleepy blog LOL).
Most of the backgrounds I have tried have worked and I have not altered the size at all. I just test them out and see how they look. If I don't like it I try a different paper. I fiddled with my colors until I got a combination I liked, on my ciderantiques sites.
I will also update this blog to explain how to do the second step . . . changing the color of the trim to match the color of your new wallpaper. For example, I have both green wallpaper and green trim on my ciderantiques blog. I will post that step as well :)
thank you so much for your ideas and help! i like some of your backgrounds, but i cannot save them as jpeg files. do i need to have photoshop to save them as jpegs?

oh my goodness, you are so helpful. Thank you sooo much!! Should the "paper" be a certain size? Is it easy to change the size if need be? Laurie
