This reindeer baby is an original illustration I made using Photoshop. I really had more plans for him, but just didn't have the time to make them happen. But I'd like to share him at least a little bit, so here he is gracing a winter desktop background.

You may also download either size and use as a free blog background!

CuteTree free background - more options

Readers seem to be loving the free backgrounds so far! I am so happy to bring you something you like. I've had several requests for a smaller CuteTree background to smaller monitors, so that the trees along the bottom don't get cut off.

Keep in mind that if you have a small monitor, or low resolution, how you see your blog is not how others see it with larger or higher res sizes.
For example, here is a gorgeous blog currently using this design, on my 19" monitor:


Mad Imaginations - beautiful blog! and you can see the row of trees all pretty



And here is that same blog, just viewed on my husband's 15" monitor. It's the same blog, but the trees look cut off only because of the size of the monitor.

Conversely, if you use a smaller design, it may look too small on someone else's computer.

So why do some layouts look ok small?
It's because they are very simple, and use a narrow blog space in order to show more of their design in the background.
Take this for example: "I'm Irish" background from CBOTB


That source image is actually 2000 pixels wide, so it will fit any monitor and resolution. But the actual area where your blog goes is very narrow, which is why most other free blog design places require you to change your layout to "Minima" before using them. If you use anything wider, your text will overlap the background.

Like this


In the future, I will try and make my designs more flexible, while still allowing a wider blog to be used for you all.

Keeping that in mind, here is the CuteTree design that is 800x600 in size for you. I have also removed the code that hides your navbar. It seems that more people use theirs than find it ugly, so I won't be including that bit in any other backgrounds.

Let me know how that works out for you!

Free Blog Backgrounds - SUPA CUTE

Edit Feb 27: Due to the popularity of these backgrounds and the numerous requests for Navbars back again, I have removed the coding to hide the navbar. If you WOULD like your bar hidden to make your own blog look more unique, just copy & paste this code right before the </style> tag:
#navbar-iframe { height:0px; visibility:hidden; display:none;}

I am on a roll and loving this! I got the "cute" bug in me and wanted to make some sweet, sugary blog designs. There's even one for Valentine's Day. Hope you like!
