This isn't boring!
I love these sorts of metal things and this is one of the best. You can cut them out and use them that way, or put them together in other ways like borders or columns. The scuffed up, weathered and even rusty bits are great as well, perfect for steampunk, of course, but don't miss aliens and their space ships, or any of that dark t.v. and movie stuff like Game of Thrones. I also think the Halloween mad scientist lab would be killer with this as a background -- maybe you have all those bubbling flasks everyone is selling as stamps and die cuts. If you need more texture those great screw brads would do the trick. Some dripping ick at the top of the page... oh yeah! Great paper.
