i like decorative borders! sites like the spriters resource, antique pattern library, and mac themes garden are huge sources of inspiration for me, so i've been cropping/editing/redrawing pixel art borders based on those styles and turning them into CSS border-image codes for others to copy+paste into their own web projects. there are over 50 of them in my collection now! here's a preview!

i hope you enjoy them!

Omg these are beautiful! Thank you for putting this together! Particularly that last row in the example screenshot, suddenly I have to up my border game  :ozwomp:

I remember you also shared a really cool pixel art border drawing site a while ago (like last year) but I've forgotten what its url was. EDIT aha its linked too - broider - You were directly responsible for the border on this site because of that link!

yay i love broider!! i think it was probably my first introduction to the border-image property, and it was definitely where i got the idea to base64 encode the images in my collection. :grin: i really like the combo of the title bar and the border you put around each gif in the giphy gallery! there's a nice balance between familiar and unexpected.

oh those are wonderful! i love the border-image attribute so much.
ive done a couple of them for my Mega Man Battle Network and Mega Man Shrines.
would love to contribute some of them here!

https://maehat.neocities.org/shrine/rockman/src/css/mm_menuborder.png
classic megaman, took the sprites directly from Mega Man 10.

Code
.menuborder {
	background: #000000;	
	border-image-slice: 6 6 6 6;
	border-image-width: 6px 6px 6px 6px;
	border-image-outset: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
	border-image-repeat: repeat repeat;
	border-image-source: url("mm_menuborder.png");
}

https://maehat.neocities.org/shrine/rockmanexe/src/css/img/bn_dialogue.png
battle network dialogue text, took it from Battle Network 4.

Code
.dialogue {
	
	background: #ffffe7;
	border-image-slice: 14 6 6 81;
	border-image-width: 14px 6px 6px 82px;
	border-image-outset: 12px 0px 0px 0px;
	border-image-repeat: stretch stretch;
	border-image-source: url("img/bn_dialogue.png");
	border-style: solid;
}

there's a couple others from my Battle Network shrine, but i feel those could be improved before being used by others.
hope these are neat additions to your borders, may use some for later stuff, thanks for sharing!
