This is an original design, and also my first tutorial... It took a lot of time and effort, so I hope it's actually helpful to some of you. :) If you have any questions, feel free to ask.... But please don't hot-link or take this out of my blog!
Note: You can choose whatever colors you want for this design. However, I suggest picking complementary colors (e.g. green and purple) so that the design doesn't look like it clashes. Black and white will also look good with anything.
