Paper Background Texture Packs Handpicked from Deviantart
The use of paper background among designers has been very popular in recent years. We can add a special effect to a web design using paper background textures, for example, without much effort. Thus, it is always handy to have a collection of high quality and high-resolution paper background textures. I have been meaning to create my own unique collection of paper background textures but I just don’t have the time to do it. Meanwhile, I would like to share with you the best of the paper background textures pack that I have found at Deviantart. Most if not all of these paper textures are in high-resolution format, which make them suitable even for print graphics. This collection features grungy to old paper textures, cardboard textures, paper stocks, and many more paper textures to check out. Use these paper background textures to make grunge theme of web background or as background to your digital scrapbooking projects. Terms of use of most of these resources are governed by Creative Commons License. I hope you will also find these textures useful.

I have always been a fan of folding paper particularly making paper airplanes. I started with a software called The Greatest Paper Airplanes published by Kitty Hawk. Unfortunately the software is no longer distributed today. It teaches how to fold 50 different paper airplanes. It’s a good place to start learning origami.
