Daily Discussions on Pop Art | | | Where do they get these cute headers/banners? | | Hi guys. Am a new blogger and have been searching for really cute and chic headers - the ones most blogging moms have on their blogs. Have searched it under pop art though it is not really pop art. It is like 3d avatar, but i could not find any of those designs in sites offering templates and layouts. All i want is just that header and which i could also use for my widget card. I tried it make-your own avatar in meez but i want the entire thing - the header design. Perhaps you could check out these designs i am talking about in cookwithmetoday.com, sasha-says.com, clickdtalk.blogspot.com. There's so much but these are the sample blog design i really want. I guess they are free but i couldn't seem to find these kind anywhere. My blog is in blogger. It looks so boring now. I hope you guys can give me some suggestions and tips. | |
