    Good list… can’t visit “Windows Wallpaper” above “Christmas Ornaments Wallpaper” though. The link is wrong. Keep it up!

    Rose August 13th, 2008

    Thank a lot! But the Splashy Leaf link is also incorrect.

    Vandelay Design August 13th, 2008

    Thanks for the heads up on those links. The splashy leaf link has been corrected. I couldn’t find the right link for the windows tutorial so I had to remove that one. Sorry.
