Awesome compilation! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, I did a search for backgrounds and found your site. You have some great backgrounds here.
Great collection! Not sure which is my favorite; the birdies or the plea for help!
Love how you’ve even recommended colors with each one. :D
Fantastic backgrounds I’ll have to try a few of these as I can’t decide on my favourite!
Beautiful backgrounds. Thanks :)
Hi! I like the backgrounds you’ve put together. I’m building a site to let people update their Twitter backgrounds and color schemes automatically (like twittergallery.com, except it will allow image uploads directly). Would you mind if I featured some of these with attribution/link when the site goes live?
You have some great backgrounds here!
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i haven’t seen anyone else offering what you are offering here. i love it. note: the green grass is not clickable. http://twitter.com/SERGI_BOSCH
Found this website mentioned on another blog. As a new twitter user, I found some of the other background options complicated or they didn’t format correctly. This site was easy to use w/ lots of practical options. Thanks for your support. I’ll be sure to mention this site to all the new twitter users i know.
Very nice site you have. Beautiful design and very nice functionality. As for the Templates MUCH appreciated kind sir :)
Wow, I love your great compilation. Thank you so much!
This is really awesome thanks!!!
Hi,
Loved some designs, especially the birdie one(2nd bg). Nice
Great collection you have and providing it for free is very nice of you.
Good and quality sites you share here, nice and friendly site u do here, thanks for share this post with us.
Alot of companies/brands are starting to take advantage of the background option in Twitter even though its still quite restrictive.
The one ive liked the most so far is one for Rightmobilephone.
http://twitter.com/rightmobile
They’ve done it simple yet effectively imo.
I hope Twitter offer more options in future.
Hi I’m using the yellow bubble speech template. I love it and I was wondering is what are the terms for using it as my blog’s header.
Who created it?
thanks for sharing this :)
I love your designs! I used “trip to the zoo” – couldn’t resist trying it. I am not a tech person and you made it so easy – thanks so much.

I thank you for your article.
I followed these links and found, that you don’t actually have to pay to get cool Twitter backgrounds. I found many web pages, which also offer cool and interesting design for Twitter and you can get them for free.
I hope that this will help you and the readers of this blog. Thank you again and I encourage you to write even more articles like this. They inspire a lot!
