flower photography backgounds

several flower photographers sometimes use a printed background behind a flower to produce a blurred background.  You can of course make your own.  Does anyone sell these or the print you can attache to a poster board?

I know Alan Murphy is offering files for this purpose. He markets the, a hummingbird backgrounds but the concept is the same. He sells you the files for you to print.

It's so easy to do this yourself, why pay for it?

Agreed but I was just answering the question.

If you know of a local fabric shop, check for a pattern than might work for you.  There are a lot of nature patterns printed on fabric that make good backgrounds.

I guess I will make my own and send it out for printing.

I’ve used a few different options for backgrounds in my flower photography. Etsy and Amazon have some great pre-made options that are pretty affordable. If you’re into DIY, you could design your own background and get it printed at a local print shop.
