Hi,

I am building a website, and I'm looking for a semi-transparent digital "pattern" to use as a background image.

I have one example of such a pattern at the website listed below. Is there a specific name for these types of patterns? Is there a website or online resource that contains links to such patterns?

Thanks in advance for your help,
David

(The pattern is included at the bottom of the page, in a small strip: scroll all the way down and you'll see it. Thanks!)

I have been wondering the same thing; I used to have some links in my browser where I was studying, but we had a system changeover and five minutes before I asked for all my preferences and stuff back, they deleted it. I've been searching on and off ever since.

Bastards!

This thread, however, has just inspired my to create some of my own! My little brother wants some.

So, I second your motion, David.

Where can we find these?

Here's a bunch of seamless patterns that you can use on a webpage:

Some more, over at 'Kaliber10000' ( Specials > Pixel Patterns ) and 'The Inspiration Gallery'..

Dav(id),

I love the damask wallpapers! Those are really neat. What I don't like about many resources is that they want links on your site, and I don't usually like having links so I end up not using the resources.
