The new background is made by Itkupilli (link on the bottom of the page) and it's done from a painting called "Garden of Death" by Finnish painter Hugo Simberg. I've always loved this painting and now with the Skellingtons I think that it fits quite well :)
This painting has been painted on 1896 and it's only16x17 cm in size. It pictures the idea of life after death by Simberg - there's no angels but skeletons who tend the heavenly garden tenderly and welcome new gardeners. I think that it's really beautiful idea and the painting really gives you this warm and caring feeling despite the skeletons :)

Thanks :D Yes, this first Skellington what I have will be Mr. Poe - I've broken one of his hand off which is good as now I can glue it to a position to look that he's writing :)
VastaaPoistaAnd I love this painting, look at the caring expression of the skeleton on the right, it's so heart warming :)
I am having so much fun with my branwave and this new backdrop just inspires me more :)
