I got some nasty email because people hate the colors of these tiles. The faded tone is made to enhance the contrast between the background and the text. It works extremely well. Click here to see an example.

Please send me an email if you have an idea or something to say.

CD is available that contains 500 images, 50 graphic Java programs with source code, fast viewing for all designs without an Internet connections. I stopped adding contents to the website since 2001 because the ISP discourages excess traffic. My visitors are also getting poor service. Instead, I started building this CD which contains original ideas and images. $20 cost for the CD includes US mailing postage. Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back. Please inquire with email.
