Looking For A Good Variety Of Newspaper-Like Backgrounds

Hi Folks!

 I am currently working on a new website, Extreme Coupon Cloud, and I think I may want to make the background look like a newspaper, like you are looking at one. anyone know where I can find a variety of backgrounds? 

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Dave

Hi Dave,

This is probably one of those times that it would be well worth the minimum $18 to purchase a background from http://www.istockphoto.com

I'll keep my eyes open for you.

Best,

Jen

Sounds like you need a coupon!

 Thank you for the compliment, I thought it was pretty clever myself, and the tagline "Raining great deals daily" fits well, too, I came up with that as I was making the banner...i needed a tagline, and it just came to me.

 Do I extreme coupon? I'm starting! I watched a show about it the other day, and the people on the show went to the store and got several hundred dollars worth of stuff for like FOUR BUCKS! That, combined with the cloud computing craze is how I was able to find the awesome domain name. Be sure to bookmark it and keep checking back, and share it with your friends and family, if ya don't mind :D I have alot of retailers lined up to add to it, i just have to get the rotators built, place them in my test index and get it all set up right. I'm also going to add fb like, twitter share, etc.....

Being a Mom counts first and foremost-and I applaud you for making it your priority! My ex is one fantastic Mother, I wouldn't trade her for the world as my Daughter's Mom! Which, that reminds me, i gotta go find some coupons for more kids stuff-I have a great school supplies site i got hooked up with, and I need more parenting stuff to go into that rotation!

I don't know any for little kids, my daughter's almost 15. I need the same coupons for her that i use.  
FYI, I do use Groupon,LlivingSocial and Double Take Deals (maybe local to me only?)

I think it could work, but its too busy as is.  Its fighting with the images in your content because the size and colors are the about the same.  Is the back ground image enlarged?  If it had smaller images, it might work, or maybe more translucent or grayed out?  As is, its hard to tell what I'm supposed to be looking at.

that's what I was thinking too, im going to shrink it down. I didnt realize it was so huge when I was watermarking it, because my image editor only had it open about 50% lol
