This group has been archived by its founder. It may still be viewed, but can no longer be joined or posted to.
Here, we'll link to any free stock image resources which might be useful for template making (backgrounds, etc.), and I'll try to keep things updated from time to time. That way, people will have a nice go-to! In cases where a website offers multiple resources, I'll link to each page under that category for ease of navigation. I will try to make note of licensing next to each entry. If you encounter problems or stock that is no longer available/is subject to a change of license, please let us know so that we can keep this list current.

Gently bumping this topic in the hopes that some folks can contribute!
This site is very useful for creating colour schemes that don't clash and should be useful for those making custom profiles and for changing the colours on group sites. I've used it a lot over the years.
