Default Polka Dot Paper - Help please

Ok all you crafters. I am trying to find black paper with white or beige polkadots and white or beige paper with black polka-dots.
But I am looking for tiny prints. Can anyone recommend a line that might carry this?
Thank you all in advance.

Bo Bunny has a line of 12x12 papers with small dots and a ton of color combinations.

You could also try buying solid color papers and using stamps to create custom colors. Hero Arts has some great dot backgrounds. Just a thought...

I just bought a package of the new Recollections patterned cardstock from Michaels. It has a black with cream tiny polka dots. It also has a toille pattern, striped, a baroque, and a swirl. Five patterns - 5 sheets of each pattern - all in black & cream - patterned one side only. Its 65lb cardstock, so I wouldn't use it for a base, but its a nice layering weight.

SU's designer series has polka dots but you would have to buy the pack for only two sheets of black with gray polka dots. There is also brown with beige polka dots. The neutrals collection has a lot of those colors you are looking for in the paper pack.

Cat, we are kindred spirits for sure. I just bought that same pack of paper! I also picked up several other polka dot packs in the pastels. I really like the new Recollections brand and I'm so happy they have patterns now as well as solid colors.

By the way, the kraft paper by Recollections is a nice color and weight, too.

Jillibean has a line of basic patterns, Soup Staples, with polka dots on one side and a plaid type pattern on the other. They come in all colors: black with white dots, white with black dots. Then they also have orange with white dots, yellow, red, green, blue, etc.

On the other side is the plaid print. They're really cute! And you get quite a few in the pack. I got mine from i {heart} papers here:
Soup Staples Collection Assortment pack 6x6

I'm not sure who else sells them.

I know! Everyone seems to stick their nose up in the air when it comes to this paper, but they really did a nice job improving it. I like that it matches Bazzill papers and now they have all their own matching Studio G inks too. Their next step, I hope, would be to have more packs of just one colour.

Cat, I looked at Michaels yesterday for this paper and I could not find it. I will take another look. I am assuming you found it in the paper isle? How much is it and is it 8 x 11 or 12 x 12? Thank you.

Its 8 1/2 x 11 packs and it was only $3.99. Its different for each store as to when they put out new products, but I'm in Calgary and we usually don't get the new stuff until its been out in the other stores for a long time.

Like Cat said, all the Michaels arrange their stock a little differently. Here in Oklahoma City, the Recollections new polka dots and pattern papers were not in the aisle with all the other packaged cardstock. They had it on a separate display in the middle of the store. Ask a clerk to be sure. I almost missed it.

Here too, it is on sale this week until Sunday. Regular $3.99 per pack is 4 for $10 or $2.50 each. There are 25 sheets in each pack.

Here is this week's ad showing the paper:

Not sure where you are located but I did just pick up some of these paper packs in CT. I bought the pastel polka dots and the glitter paper to go with it. They are really nice!

Actually I live in a border city in Ontario, and I was able to go to Michigan yesterday. That is where I looked. I will look in my city and I will be in Michigan again next week.
You ladies are the best! Thank you for taking the time to answer me.
