Preview 2 - Backgrounds By Design 2

Welcome everyone to our second preview this month...Backgrounds By Design 2!  

It's great to have pattern stamps for creating your own backgrounds or easily jazzing up plain DP with a touch of your own flair!  These stamps are a great length at approximately 5.5" and so will easily reach across a card!
