"In Your Eyes" is what I title this wallpaper. The background color is actually taken from a single pixel from her right eye in a picture. I just added a slight texture to it before adding the pictures of Kellie on top. There are four full pictures of her (the four best I have seen, I think) and seven pictures from which I took just her eyes and placed them all together in a banner across the center of the screen. After that, I added the lyrics to the chorus of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" to the blank spaces, starting in the top right and working around clockwise (which makes it seem backwards to us westerners).

This is the "In Your Eyes" background without the lyrics. I wondered if they were a bit too much and so I decided to have two versions of the background. I personally use the one with the lyrics as the background on my computer.

This is a background of Michael Hoffman's much-maligned (unfairly so) 1999 film version of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. I tried to get pictures of all of the important characters (I didn't want to get ALL of them--because that would include doofy little extras who don't even have names). Kevin Kline is pictured twice--because Bottom is the real humor of the play and Kline is just plain funny, but I felt like the players as a group needed to be represented and the best shot included him.
I captured these pictures on my computer, since I just discovered it can do that (I hadn't used the DVD player before). The pictures show, starting on the top left and moving left to right and then top to bottom, roughly, the players, Nick Bottom, Oberon, the lovers, Theseus and Hippolyta, Titania and Puck. On the right is the closing speech by Puck.
This one is in .gif format instead of my regular .jpg, because I was learning how to use this program and thought I could only do .gif.
Surprise, surprise! It's another Kellie Martin background! This one's named "Photograph" after the song lyrics which appear on it (I've heard of some other backgrounds named like that--I wonder where . . .) from my favorite song of all time, Def Leppard's "Photograph." The background is a light blue with a cloud effect and then a motion blur. The pictures across the center of the screen are all turned into negatives with blocks drawn around them and so forth so as to mimic the look of a series of negatives for a roll of film. I purposely decided to use the--for lack of a better word, I will use this one--cutesiest pictures of Kellie that I have for my three larger pictures in the background and the negatives are all from her younger days, with the most recent being from her time starring in the television show Christy. The lyrics are the chorus to Def Leppard's song "Photograph."
This is the more general How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog background. This one includes a picture of each major character (except the stalker--I couldn't get one that was really visible. His scenes are just too dark.) and one of my favorite quotations from each one somewhere by the picture.
This is the "Kellie Martin Blue Hills" background. I used the "blue hills" picture that came on my computer and added six basically randomly chosen pictures of Kellie. It's simple, but it looks nice. Then again, can Kellie be on something without it looking nice?

This one is titled "Pictures of You." (I have to title the Kellie Martin backgrounds because I'll make so many.) This one is actually made up of nearly all of the pictures of Kellie I have on my computer (46 of them--to be exact). I shrunk the big ones all down so that they could all reasonably well fit. I randomly rotated them around and stuck them all over the page so as to mimic the effect of a pile of pictures. Some of them are separated as though they've been ripped apart--to fit with the lyrics to The Cure's "Pictures of You" on the right. The only pictures with which I took any special care are the three more emotional looking pics next to the lyrics (if you can't tell which those are, you are a moron). I don't use this one because it's too busy, but busy with Kellie may not be a bad thing . . .
 This is the Kellie Martin "I Never Cry" background. I wanted to try being really minimalist, but this is as minimalist as I could go (call me Frank Lloyd Wright). These are the two most emotional looking pictures of Kellie that I have (I know she's not technically "crying," but if she were that right picture couldn't be as powerful as it is). The left picture is from If Someone Only Knew and the right from The Face on the Milk Carton. I actually hate the way Kellie looks with red hair compared to everything else (except the Maxim photos), but that picture has so much emotional power that I use it constantly. The background is actually a gradient made from a pixel from the right eye in each of these pictures.
This is a background of Peter McGowen from How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog. This was a new idea for me: many pictures of a character from a movie. This is a brilliant movie starring Kenneth Branagh performing as brilliantly as one would expect from him as playwright Peter McGowen.
This is a background of just the play within the movie in How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog.
This is the "A Vision" background. I used a simple, plain, pretty blue background and added a bunch of close-ups of her eyes (Do I need to say who?) around the edges and a picture of her that's been growing on me a lot lately more centered. I then added a poem that I wrote about Kellie named "A Vision."
