If you’re looking for a quick way to add a nice looking background pattern to your website, blog or twitter profile, here are a few options – besides the Tartan Maker and Stripe Generator I mentioned in an earlier entry:
PatternCooler – With over 31,000 designs to browse, you’re sure to find something here that will match your design. If not, you can easily adjust the colors and size of any background swatch with the site’s built-in tools.
BgPatterns – Select from various design elements to create backgrounds with a vintage look. Includes the ability to add texture and adjust opacity levels.
bgMaker – If you’re not interested in the preset shapes available on the sites above, you can draw your own, pixel-by-pixel, with this tool. You’ll see your background take shape on the page as you draw, which will help you ensure that edges match up to make a continuous pattern.
Has anyone else found any background image generators or created a cool background you’d like to share?

Wonderful post – I have used one of the patterns for my Twitter background /photographworks – and free theme or not, I like ‘Hybrid’ and I am playing around with it at artphotowall.com.
