This seamless background image should look nice on websites. It has a dark blue gray texture with vertical stripes, it tiles seamlessly and, like all of the background images here, it's free. So, if you like it, take it!

A pale yellow background pattern with vertical stripes. The stripes are partially faded. I think this background image turned out pretty well, especially those faded stripes.
