I was fooling around in paintshop pro and starting thinking... alot of designers use glitterfills as the background of the glitter as well, right? Well, why not make backgrounds specificly for glitters?

So while testing, I came up with 4 different backgrounds to test.

Please note, the 'examples' above, are very poor quality glitters - I made them in 30 seconds. Just to show an example of what the backgrounds would look like in action.

Do you think it'd be worth making more? I'm going to make it so that you have to purcahse a license to be able to use them for commercial use (license price is undecided, but im sure it wont be much), or if your just using them for your site/freebies, etc you have to credit... because these actually take me along time (even though i know they dont look it) and this was my original idea - i've NEVER seen these before.

Those are really cool Angie I really like them
I would use them if you were re-distributing them on your site

Oh yeah if you make them I would recommand to save it as a .bmp so you can put it in your psp pattern folder.

So is it worth making more?
Would you buy a license to be able to use 'em for commercial use (sites and/or freebies is free with credit)?

^^ I would buy them if the price is fair, and the bgs are decent.

I would definently make sure that there are alot of backgrounds, before making this an option as it wouldn't be fair to even pay $1 if there is very little selection, or poor backgrounds for that matter... Just trying to get an idea of what to do before spending all th time doing it. :) thanks for your inputs thus far.
