Tie Dye

October 29, 1998 - The pattern that was used to create this set was created, almost by accident when I was playing around with a graphic that consisted of random color smears. I applied the Kaleidoscope II filter from Filter Factory Gallery A. I ended up applying it a couple of times, but what I ended up with was something that reminded me of the tie-dye clothing we used to wear "way back when." Actually, this set was so easy and fun to make that I created several sets based on this same theme with different colors.

You don't need a blank button with this set. All you have to do is use the eye-dropper tool of either PaintShop Pro or PhotoShop to pick up the background color from one of the existing buttons or from the background graphic. The font I used is called Bangle and I applied the drop shadow and 1 pixel stroke using PhotoShop layer styles. The buttons and title were recreated on August 14, 2006.

Remember that in order to use this set, you must adhere to my terms of use. Don't just right-click and save to get this set for your use. Download the zip file that I created for your use. It contains:

A copy of this page with appropriate styles for text and link colors, a style to make regular unordered lists use my bullet graphic, and a few other things. You may use the styles as I have given them to you by inserting them in the head section of each page on your site, or you may separate them into a cascading stylesheet file and link that to each page. (If you use the page I have given you by pasting your content in place of mine, don't forget to change the meta tag information in the head so it is about your web site, not mine.)
The following buttons are included: About, Back, E-Mail, Guestbook, Home, Links, News, Next, Sign, View, and the IS Web Designs logo.
Graphics for the background, bar, bullet, and title as well as a blank button and title for you to customize.
A copy of my terms which also includes the address of this web site. I know I downloaded lots of graphics when I was first on the web and then couldn't remember where I got them from in the first place. As long as you keep a copy of the zip file around, you won't have to worry about that.
