$20 Contest for the right Background Pattern

    Hi, I am offering $20 to the person who can find or create a background pattern for my website. This contest goes for 24 hours. Please see my website here: www dot goodtherapy dot org

    Currently I am using a color for the background. But I would prefer a background pattern. Some examples of background textures I like are found here: http://oktaykilic.com/ and here: http://www.revivedmedia.com/ The textures are nice, but the color is not correct. I need a pattern that uses my current background color in conjunction with a secondary color that is slightly different this way the pattern will be very subtle to the eye.

    I can pay you by Pay Pal or Scriptlance. Once paid I will need your design in PSD, html, and css files. This is my first contest here, but you can see my buyer profile on scriptlance.com, my user name is knowaboa. Please do not make reference to my domain in your comments. Thanks! I look forward to your designs, Noah :)

    Boy I'm bummed that no one seems interested in this contest. I wonder how much $ it will take to have someone find or design a good background pattern? Anyone interested in doing this? Please name your price.

    I saw this post shortly after you posted it but the first site does not load and the second one has no pattern in the background... I may be able to help if you can show me a pattern you like.

    I do believe we need a link to your website in order to even compete. How are we to know what background colors to use if we can't view your site so it can be 'subtle' on the eyes :).

    I think you needed to add just a tad more info for more people to be interested :)

    Same Here..

    But still, here are some examples. The actual pattern is smaller, of course, i'm showing it repeated so you can see how it looks.

    I hope you like any of those ;)
    I personally like the first one.

    Sorry Dark Rider, I meant to address my last comment to RebelAgent. Yes, you are correct, one of the websites is down and the other has changed their design and no longer shows the background pattern I liked. Below is a BG pattern I like. The only problem is that it is not the right color. For the following image to work the majority color would need to be #bdbdf9 and the minority color would need to be very close to the majority color, such as: #bdbdf9 [​IMG] But I am open to other patterns, with these color combionations.
