Monday Freebie is Early and New Background Contest

Well we told you that you never knew what we would do here at DIP. We are giving away our Monday Freebie a little early and kicking off our new background contest. No, you do not have to enter the contest to get the freebie; and we really hope you enjoy being creative with them. This weeks freebies are taken from our newest package additions at our Digital Imagery Plus store. These are vintage wallpaper images from the 20s and thirties. Have fun!

As you know all contests have rules so here we go.
