Background images in the design tool - Can we sell these?

When using the design tool to create a product, there's an option to use either a solid color or a background image. These background images all have the creator who created them show when the little tooltip for each background is clicked.

How can I include my own backgrounds in the list of backgrounds that are available in the design tool and are they given a commission?

Thanks!

I believe the ability to include your background in the list of backgrounds available in the design tool is by invitation only. 

I also do Postcrossing!

@idraw  Do you know if people can still become part of the gang who create the backgrounds shown in the design tool?

Hi Barbara, (and Snuffsy),
I was not part of the program. I don’t know if it is still open to new applicants.
You might consider sending proseller support an email asking about apllyig to create secondary content. 
Coloratissimo was in the prom tho
This is all I could find posted anywhere on the forum concerning the program—-

Thanks, @idraw . It's interesting that Coloratissimo's post speaks in the past, not the present, tense. It sounds as if maybe it isn't a "thing" any longer.

Thanks WIndy!
I figured as much as I searched and searched. I guess a nobody like me has a long way to go.

Appreciate your help.

You are NOT a "nobody". You are one of many in a sea of wildly diverse creatives who are making our way in this vast marketplace. We all had to start just like you. Chin up!
