Gosh February arrived before we were quite ready! This summer has just been so spectacular full of long hot days and BBQ filled nights. Valentine's Day is just around the corner so we decided to make this month's design a bit of a lovey dovey one. You can buy this design as a gift card, felt flag, or a stunning A3 gold foil print! All available in our shop. Thank you so much for following our blog and loving our free wallpapers. It's so great to go the the markets and have people show us their phones with the designs on them! This all started about 3 years ago when I wanted something neat for my phone and couldn't find something out there and have kept going ever since - so thank you again! Without your support, Toodles honestly wouldn't' be where it is today! Enjoy! 2560 x 1440 / 1680 x 1050 / 1440 x 900 / 1280 x 800 / 1024 x 1024 / iphone / ipad The formal bits: All photos, desktop wallpaper art, and designers are copyright.
