Designers have approached the seasonal change with everything from reflective farewells to bold cultural tributes. Each wallpaper is available in multiple resolutions, with options both with and without a calendar overlay.

A Mexican Cultural Icon for Independence Day
Maria Keller from Mexico looked to her country’s heritage for inspiration: “This month is Mexico’s independence day and I decided to illustrate one of the things Mexico’s best known for: the Lucha Libre.” The result is a vibrant tribute featuring a masked wrestler, a fitting nod to a beloved national tradition.
