Gang, this will be one short post. It is about giving. And I will keep it short. Promise.

So, as soon as we started our Facebook fan page we proclaimed to following: And if you become FB fan, expect to receive gifts! 🙂

And there were gifts!

So, in the giving spirit, today we prepared another gift for our Facebook fans, it is one cool Christmas / New Year 3600×3600 px background (12×12 inches at 300dpi) that was made with Christmas Photoshop brushes set.

Updated for 2024: Fifteen years on, we’ve relocated the download to this spot for those intrigued.

I was really happy to see that many people liked it and we’ve got good some really nice comments too. Also, for Facebook fans it is much easier to submit their works for out Christmas 2009 Graphics Competition (still not too late if you want to apply).

Now, for those of you who are curious on how it’s done, it’s pretty simple. It was done with:

Winter Holidays Photoshop brushes set 🙂
