If you’ve been using OS X Lion, you’ve probably noticed the linen theme in some of the interface elements. If you initiate Mission Control, you’ll notice the wonderful linen texture on the outside border of your screen. Apple has brought this design to aspects of iOS, including the Notification Center background.
A guy took the swatches Apple uses in Lion and created full-res wallpapers for everyone to enjoy. You can download these linen-themed wallpapers for your iPhone and iPad.
The swatches can be found here: /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/Resources/
These native-resolution wallpapers were made by Justin Blanton.

Nice!
They look nice, but are only 72 dpi – shouldn’t they be 326?
The dark one is identical to the notifications center backdrop. But not as good quality…
