If you do an internet search you will find a variety of web sites offering scrapbooking graphics freebies including embellishments, backgrounds, clipart, fonts and even templates. Usually they are free to download for personal use. If you are looking for one or two items such as an interesting background and don't need an entire kit of themed graphics, this may be the source for you. Be aware that sometimes you get what you pay for, although some graphics I've found are pretty good quality.
