This background combines two things I love: watercolor and paisley blooms spread across a subtly textured paper as if to signal the arrival of Spring in all her glory, daffodils, tulips, songbirds and sunshine spreading from her fingers.  I wanted to use watercolor because it is so fun to look at, with bright colors and whole ranges of different fascinating textures.  It especially feels right to me in the spring and summer months, with it’s carefree and vivid airiness.  Paisley designs celebrate spring and growth too.  Paisley began in India and Persia and is a representation of a mango fruit, a decadent growing treat that is much anticipated.  It’s a design that is always recognizeable but can be altered and adorned in infinite different ways, but is always intriguing with details and curves.  This background is my ode to spring.  Please come and brush the cobwebs from the sky with me!

This dark, noir wallpaper is currently adorning 3 monitors at Arcane Palette Central.  The dark theme is easy on the eyes, especially after a long day staring at white pixels.  It takes the classic smoky look and adds an interesting wallpaper texture, giving the feeling of sitting in a dark hookah bar, sipping a mango lassi.

This wallpaper also looks great as a Twitter background.
