Either way, finding the perfect background for your digital scrapbook page starts with choosing your colors. The following backgrounds have been grouped by similar colors so you can play around with different patterns and shades to find the perfect look for your page.
Each of the following background collections are in .pdf format, so you'll need a free program, such as Adobe Reader, to open them. Choose the color that you'd like to browse and open the file by clicking on the photo or the link below it. The page that opens up will show you 16 different backgrounds, all of which are attached in full size to the document.
