WEB DESIGN

So I'm not proficient w/ Photoshop, and have minimal artistic ability. I'm trying to find a website that offers free website backgrounds.

Any advice? I'm looking for a clouds background similar to this one:

Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.

I'll give you an advice.

It's better if you learn how to create your own backgrounds. The mixture of grunge or textural backgrounds with the combination of masking and brush designs and not to mention the complete option of adding in the cloud designs in photoshop.... The creativity is endless.

  I'm not a big fan of fancy website background, but I can give some advice.
  
  If you plan on building this site up I would recommend learning how to make something yourself. It's really not that hard to through something together in Photoshop or maybe a free app like Gimp and it's better in the long run to have something original.
  
  Check out PSD Tuts+ for some great free lessons on how to use Photoshop.
  
  Good luck!

Check out stock.xchng - the leading free stock photography site

You can get clouds and grass images. Use them to create a background using CSS or just create a large background using PHOTOSHOP.

I think it's your safest best to create your own.

Here's some links to sites that will sell free brushes so you can get started

Thanks for the feedback and advice, Warriors.

I think my best bet is to go ahead and create my own background. I use Pixlr for a lot of the artwork that I do only because I don't have Photoshop. It seems to do the job though.
