While we have our own twitter backgrounds here Graphic Design Free Resources, I decided to go out and look around for more cool Twitter backgrounds to share. I found ten (10) of the best resources offering free stunningly beautiful Twitter backgrounds. Aside from our very own Twitter backrounds, I may have missed some of best resources out there offering the same freebies.

Twitter-Backgrounds.net came up as a security risk, when I tried to close the page, it would not close and a new window of it kept popping up every second. I had to restart my computer to make it stop. Just a warning. Someone might want to check it out and I wouldn’t recommend clicking the link.

Thanks Amers383 for your concern. I did checked again twitter-backgrounds.net but found nothing unusual. I’m using firefox, maybe some browsers might react. Anyone else experiencing the same bug from that site. Please confirm so I could replace it immediately. Thank you.
