Default Which small background set do you use most?

I'm debating on which one to get. So which one is your favorite, most used or do you feel is most verstile (sp?). I'm looking at the current sets on pages 166 and 167 of the latest catalog.

Thanks!

Me either! I'm always reaching for that one. My vote is Itty Bitty Backgrounds.

If I were choosing one, then I would go with IBB.

Whew! I just ordered my first small background set and large background.

I ordered Itty Bitty Backgrounds! and Floral, which I got the hostess set that matches it.

IBB , hands down!!! It goes with everything. I love to use the open dots as snow on the background of a Christmas or winter card. And I find myself reaching for that splatter stamp all the time... it's the perfect little touch to "finish" a card.
Happy Stamping!!!

I cannot live without the "sprinkle" stamp! It just makes anything plain, just pop! I was so afraid they would discontinue it but they were full of wisdom on that one (nuts on the paisley though)!

So far it's unanimous! I love the speckle stamp in IBB to give cards the aged look called "foxing". That's what the brown spots that appear on old paper are called.

Another vote for Itty Bitty Backgrounds! I use it almost everytime I sit down to stamp.

Definitely Itty Bitty Backgrounds - that speckle stamp can transform a "void" background into an awesome one in seconds. And I find that with some of the other small background stamps (I've got quite a few of them now), it sometimes seems like you've got to stamp the entire background with it or it doesn't quite look right, but that's not the case with the IBB stamps - you can just add a little sprinkle here & there and it's perfect. Just my opinion here.
