Free old timey background for slides with brown butterflies and faded script on aged paper. HD 16:9.

Created by Elena Gidura · November 10, 2026

This old timey background for slides is aged brown paper, with a pale left side holding faded handwriting and a flutter of butterflies. I let the right side darken into a mottled, stained texture. Place your title and text over the lighter left-center area. Fits storytelling and heritage topics.
