Where in the world did July go?! I feel like I just created the July Tech Pretties. And now it's time to share the August Tech Pretties. Seriously... the calendar needs to slow down a little bit. Am I right?

What are tech pretties?

They are pretty backgrounds and wallpapers for all your tech devices. Download and save to your desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile phone.

Each month I create and share a new tech pretty design. And they are absolutely free!

I originally started them because I wanted a calendar on my desktop background and decided to share them for fun. And a lot of you seem to really like them! So I keep sharing them each and every month.

About this month's design

Since August is hot hot hot for most of us, I thought I'd create a little garden that can withstand the heat. And that means succulents all around! Only one design for ya this month, but I do have both the design you see above and the background pattern only for ya on mobile and tablet (in case you're like me and want a plain design for your wallpaper and the calendar on your lock screen).

In full honesty, I want to make sure you know that I am not an illustrator. So I rely on the amazing talents of those that are gifted in this skill. And this month I'm drooling over the work of two artists. I combined the fun potted succulents* created by PlaidGecko* with a background pattern* created by DariSmartArt* to make this month's tech pretty. And I love how they came together! Don't you?

Also used in this month's tech pretty design are the fonts: Montserrat (free font) and Foxglow*
