A new theme tweak from me today, one that I think embraces Spring! I particularly like the little image fading as you roll over images and social icons in the sidebar. If you like the flower header image you are in luck as I have plenty of these to add as free downloads soon. I hope you like this Twenty Twelve theme customisation – feedback is always appreciated!
