Lolly Popcorn - free XML template

Oh my gosh!!!!!!! It's not very often that you come across a completely awesome site that offers fantastical things for you to use for free but I have found one >> patterncooler.com (why oh why didn't I see this site before????) that offers background images.

BUT.... not just any old boring background images! You can scale and change the colour of the images very easily and then download them and then use them!!! So stop dilly-dallying and go look at the awesome patterns {here}.

Here is a template using one of those patterns:

LolliPopper - free XML Blogger template

Here is a delightful lollipop themed blog template (header image by Flóra at Flickr.com - CC 2.0) and I adore it! There are quite a few changeable elements to this design - the border colour (pink the example), the background (grey in the example) and the inner blog colour - below the header image (white in the example) are all changeable. So you can make this template as bright as you like! Enjoy!

Also.... please note that I love making things customisable so I have made the 'inner' background and main background colour customisable. So basically you can easily alter the look of the blog. Check out some combos below:

Lemon, perhaps?

Or a delightful dark purple!?

To change these colours, all you have to do is go to the Fonts & Colours tab within Blogger and change them to whatever you want. REMEMBER that the stupid colour palette that Blogger provides aren't the only colours you can have!!

You can look up any HEX colour and imput the six digit code into the box and hit "return". A big 'ol list of hex colours can be found {here} or a good colour selector {here}

PS: massive thanks to the delightful pinkonhead.com for the wonderful woman/ship/head Photoshop brush! I love it!

NOTE: the inner blog (blue) colour and the pink border colour are all changeable from within the "Fonts & Colours" area of Blogger.... so there's a million combinations. This template is nice and bright... I hope you like it too.

The sidebar alignment is weird in IE6 and before - so this is recommended for those of you with IE7 - and of COURSE it looks fantastico in FF, Opera & Safari :P - if you're using IE6 and before then I may have to seriously question your sanity!
