(here's the 1280x1024 version)

*sigh* I love Fruits Basket, it's quickly become one of my favorite manga, and I've watched some of the anime too (thanks very much go to my awesome friend ~Lost-Soul for recommending it to me). Anyway, yeah, so I definitely wanted to make a wallpaper of it (and I will probably make more in the future, I've already started the second one in fact n_n).

The title of this wallpaper should be easily recognizable to anyone who's watched the show or read the books, but for those of you who haven't yet, there's this bit in there where one of the characters asks what does it become when the snow melts? (the correct answer is spring btw). So that's what I wanted to show here, winter warming into spring. Hence the white color scheme and the golden kinda glow that I made with brushes and a stock photo overlay (plus the sunrise). The background actually took on a slightly Egyptian look with that texture and such, I hadn't intended it, but I think it looks pretty cool anyway. So yup, this wallpaper is me saying welcome back spring, I've missed you ^_^
