Here’s the Swirls, Swooshes and Florals List

Floral Swirl
A stunning set of high res floral swirls. Perfect for floral patterns and backgrounds.

Swirls Brush Pack
Swirl shapes courtesy of the brand new site, Brush King. Simple, but useful.

Swirls and Flourishes
More from Brush King. 23 beautiful floral flourishes and swirls. Awesome for borders and corners.

Swirl Brushes
11 decorative brushes. Interesting curved lines, dotted lines and decorative elements.

Seleneheart Flourish Brushes
These brushes are on the small side, but the are beautifully detailed. Awesome for adding flourish elements to your design.

These mix in a lot of grunge elements and could very easily have slipped into my grunge brush list. I love using these to mask out a slick looking grunge flourish border.

Thanks for the link. They’ve got some very nice brushes there! I should have mentioned that I wanted to keep the list to only free brushes.
