***NOTE*** This page isn't dead!! I know I haven't been adding any new sets to this page as often as I would like to, but circumstances have rendered me computer-less (or, rather, pentium-less) at least until this summer is over. Please continue to check back after then as this candy bowl will be refilled up to its brim!

Hi there! Ever been to a page where your first reaction was "UGH!" or "Someone hand me some aspirin!"...?! Oftentimes, people take lovely graphics from several sites in hopes of creating a lovely page, but oftentimes, the graphics, which seem lovely alone, just don't seem to get along with the other lovely graphics (Can't we all just get along?!). In an effort to promote beautiful "homes" on the web, I have created several "sets" which consist of a background and its coordinating graphics.


BUT...before we proceed, I feel the need to remind you that all the graphics on this site were created by myself; many of these sets take me an entire day to create. Please be considerate and give me credit on your pages should you decide to use these graphics. If I find that even one of my graphics is being used inappropriately, I will add a digital watermark, as well as my initials, to all my images, and really now, you don't want a conspicuous "H.T." on every graphic of your page now, do you?


Another concern is linking images directly to this server. Sure, I don't mind, but you might, and the readers of your page might. First of all, in case you haven't noticed, this site is housed on Geocities, which, although a wonderful free homepage provider, experiences several server problems in a day due to the large number of people accessing its sites. If having broken images on your page is your idea of aesthetic, then by all means link, but I sure advise against it.


Now on with the show...

Each of these sets consist of at least a background, a title image, a button, a divider, and a bullet. Some are transparent, some are not (as specified on each page). Please read through the descriptions on each page carefully, so you don't accidentally make a transparent gif non-transparent. Should you need help, email me at gapkid@stanford.edu, and I'll be more than happy to help you.
