New old paper
This style starts with old paper scanned in to create textures, frames and interesting backgrounds. Start with a scanner and some trash instead of skipping to Google and you will produce something far more unique. Ever notice everyone seems to use the same lame coffee cup stain you can get with a quick Google search? Do yourself a favor and don’t do the same.

Funny… also, here is the most overused paper texture that you can see in MILLIONS of designs: http://www.danevins.com/_wizardimages/old_paper.jpg
There seems to be a consistent problem with the http://www.thewebdesignsource.com websites that you have listed recently, in that they are re-directed to their web hosts ’suspended page’ listing. Perhaps you might contact the owners of the site if known to you? Thanks.
You are right,people don’t want to put in their time having their images as original as they could get. A little google search and the site is ready for delivery !
I personally don’t think it right to take photographs and just use them like this. I have a little collection of photos for my use which I keep offline and I use them instead.
