I see you've wandered to my Banner and Layout Shop, Praise the Paint. So welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay and maybe find something you'd like to get.
The idea for this shop grew slowly. One day, i was looking at my threads and thought they looked kinda plain - so i did something about it. I made banners and layouts myself and because Paint is all I have, I did them with it. Why I don't have any other image editing programs and stuff you ask, well simply because I don't want to download anything, even tho I know, the internet is full of all kinds of editing programs. And quite frankly, the nostalgia is amazing. I know we all played around with Paint when there was nothing else available.
I've never done anything with Paint before, besides playing around with it when I was bored. I know some people are amazing with Paint, but I'm not quite there yet - no where near to be honest.
So please, stay, look around, make friend and maybe order something. c: Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and get yourself a free banner.
As i said in the post above, the idea for this shop grew slowly. I use Paint and Paint only when I make these Banners and Layouts. I like the fact, that doing these with Paint is a bit more challenging, because you can't cut images where you want to cut them, you need to do the details yourself.
Choosing the Colors
When choosing the colors for the Banners/Layouts, i tend to use the colors that are in the avatar i'm working the banner/layout around to. Like, for example, the banner I have on this post, i chose the colors from Nebula Halo.
Details
As I made the banners, i didn't want them to be just a box with text in it. I wanted some details. I use different shapes around the banner to give it more contrast and detailing. Sometimes, i even use images to give the banners/layouts an extra pop, of course, it makes it more time consuming and harder, but hey, i like the challenge. In the future, i'll be working on more details.
Some Rules
1. When you receive a banner or a layout from me, you're not allowed to edit it in anyway. All though you can re-size it if you want, but a heads up - it might get blurry. You may ask me to re-size it if you want, but it will take some extra work for me.
2. I reserve the right to decline an offer on any given moment.
3. If you're mean, rude or misbehave in any other way, I won't make you banners or layouts. SO be nice.
4. The avatars and items are property of Menewsha's art team. So credit for them for making such an awesome items.
I will add more rules if I feel like there's need for them.
Now we're getting to the point, where you can see some samples of my Banners and Layouts. Samples are also numbered to make ordering as simple and easy as possible. And yes, I know, the samples are all the same color, but the color is not a problem for me. These are just to show you, what kind of Banners and Layouts i can currently make. Including details and different shapes.
Banner Samples
Basic box shaped Banner. 1a and 1b. Wave shaped Banner. 2a and 2b. Circle shaped Banner. 3a and 3b.
On all of my banners, the avatar can be placed on ether left or right. Or if you want, on both sides.

I'm keeping these updated. As soon as I will be adding new things to my selection, I will announce it. Yes, I'll make sure you won't miss the new updates.
I can also, pretty much include any image you want. As long as you have the right to use it of course. Also, if the image is something i can't work with, i'll let you know.
Currently there are no set prices on my Banners or Layouts. Prices for my Banners and Layouts at the moment are Bribe Only. I believe in the future as things stabilize, there most likely will be set prices.
You can Bribe me either with Items or Gold. Just a hint, I can't resist new shinies.
And to make thing more easier for you, here's a list of items I'm currently after.
