  Are the images that wordpress offers in the free themes, IE the wallpaper part, copyrighted or public use/domain? Just wondering if can use the paisley design from a theme on our business card so it matches the blog.

  Are your referring to free theme or to premium (paid) theme?
  Please post a link to the theme in question.

  As I said in my original question, it is a Free Theme. It is the Matala theme, http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/matala

  Thanks for your help-Janell
