Beautiful pixel patterns for download

Anyone that follows my work, especially on Dribbble, knows that I love me some good ol’ subtle pattern textures (typically I create mine from scratch), and now thanks to Naomi Atkinson (@naomisusi) you can download and love them too without the blood, sweat and tears of creating them yourself. They are available for free (limited set) or for a mere $4 you can get the full set.

**Wow, the above completely sounds like an infomercial. Now all we need is a “call within the next 10 minutes and receive a second set for free… that’s right two sets for the price is one! Order now!” :)
