| I love them. Them and cherries. Especially on 50s style dresses and as backgrounds to blogs or for pc wallpaper. Where can I get polka dot or cherry backgrounds and wallpaper?
I'm searching but not having a lot of luck finding something my limited technical skills will allow me to use successfully.
If anyone has any possible sources, I'd be most grateful for the links.

| I would think the cherry would be available because of Mary Engelebrit, the polka dots not sure, would have to research that.
Good luck, if I find anything I'll let you know

| Ali,
I am happy to say I have found a place to meet all your dreams....I hope...
It had alot of polka dots and more cherries than I thought.
Shewin-Williams Online Decorating Store. If you google it you should be able to locate it. It is U.S.
Good Luck

| Oh dear. I think you've mistakenly thought I wanted actual wallpaper. As in rolls of it that goes on walls.
My fault, I should have been more specific. I meant wallpaper as in the sort you use on computers. I'm sure, if they could, Sherman Williams would be happy to oblige me though! You've made me chuckle today Barbara. Thanks!

| If you have something you like, as in a bag, dress, notebook-cover, whatever, then you can always take a close-up digital photograph, or take it to a copyshop and get it scanned into a digital image and then set it as your wallpaper.
My uncle is a keen gardener and always brings us presents - last year his bowl of bright yellow and deep red cherry tomatoes looked so good that we took a photo, and then enlarged it and cropped the edges so it was a rectangle just filled with cruves and plump bulges of reds and yellow, sunlit and shadowed, and we had it made into a mug for his birthday!
So try finding it in real life and then making your own digital wallpaper!

| I found a blue and white one here. I found a pretty good sized collection here with all different colors. I only searched for free ones. I can keep searching if that's not what you're looking for.
