Been spotted for a while, Spancky Corners is a perfect alternative to generate CSS boxes with rounded corner. It is semantically pure CSS markup, without extra HTML to act as ‘CSS hooks’.
Just set any radius with no significant increase to file size then select your preferred foreground and background color. This tool will produce only 4 small corner GIFs together with the basic CSS and the HTML to obtain the effect.
Try this one out and hit ‘Spank Me!’ when you finish with the set :D
