<br />
Back in those days, I was kind of careless and stupid concerning saving the original templates for my artwork. Instead I saved one blank button with a black background, to match that site, which means I can only use those buttons on sites with black backgrounds.<br />
<br />
I really liked those buttons a lot, so I recreated them from scratch today, in much better quality than the originals.<br />
<br />
<img alt="sample: Top Ten buttons" height="220" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_qlCAUZtia6Q/SjaD9lfBIwI/AAAAAAAAA1U/8PfrfxQ8TSA/sample%5B6%5D.png?imgmax=800" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="sample: Top Ten buttons" width="275" /><br />
<div align="center">
<i>(shown actual size)</i></div>
<br />
With transparent backgrounds, they can now be used on any color website. I also made a set with a slight drop shadow, so they would stand out more on lighter backgrounds.<br />
<br />

Just give credit by linking back to this site on any page that you use them, or in your about box if you use them in a desktop application.<br />
<br />
Besides using them to number pages, I think they would be great for numbering items in all those “Top 10” lists that so many bloggers seem to be fond of.<br />
<br />
And in case you want to do a top 20 list, I have included .psp and .psd source files of both versions, so you can edit and make more buttons (or change the font).<br />

<br />
Inspired by the trend on a lot of the design blogs to use flourishes and swirly looking things, I decided to take a crack at it and create a pack of images that would be suitable for anyone that designs Wordpress themes, website templates, or just if you want to use it on your own website or blog. Commercial use is OK, do as you wish, just don't offer them for download (together or individually) or claim you made them. You have to make something with them.<br />
<br />
There is a total of 60 PNG images in this pack:<br />
<ul>
<li>1 image with a transparent background</li>
<li>1 image with a white background</li>
<li>29 images with various gradient backgrounds</li>
<li>29 matching gradients images to be used as page or element backgrounds.</li>
</ul>

Perfect for a food related site or blog, you may use these any way you wish. Use them to decorate your site, create a logo, make a banner, insert them into posts, printed newsletters, restaurant menus, etc.<br />
<br />
There are 26 different images, each with dropshadow, png format, each in 2 styles, both transparent and white backgrounds.<br />
<br />
If you like these, let me know and I'll make more. If you use them on your site or blog, share a link so I can see.<br />
