Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. I'm Christina, the owner of JoyfulRose.com. This is my Blog where I write about daily life, musings, and everything else that doesn't relate to my JoyfulRose business blog. :)
Note: third set of images have a few trouble spots. 2nd image is quite pixelated in the original resulting in a somewhat blurry background. 3rd image is the small version from Shutterstock; hard to tell how the final, larger version would look (if this background is chosen, we'll purchase it and have the higher resolution which will make for a clearer picture.)

Kristina wanted a site with warm colors and preferably a scenic picture of Yosemite, which holds a very special place in her heart.
Here are a few mock-ups! Click images to view larger.
Note: font, colors, borders, etc., can all be changed. Also, these mock-ups are how her site would appear on a 1440x900 resolution monitor. See this link for more information about monitor resolutions/sizes and how they affect what the client sees. Copyright notice: all images used are in the public domain.
Kris liked the hills but wanted them to be more rounded and flow together. She wasn't sure about the birds on the left so I took those out for now. :) I also added in a sunburst to a few of the mock-ups just for fun.
I polled 4 different forums and the majority liked these two backgrounds the best.
