When the little hourglass or colorwheel finishes moving, wouldn’t it be nice to be greeted with this calming desktop wallpaper calendar? The free download was made by designer Katie of Lemon Jitters, who specializes in putting a retro-cute twist on Victorian-ish clip-art images through clever text and collage work.
