Tile Graphics for DS Game?

So...
I'm making a DS game right now (with my spare time), and I need some background tiles for an Advance Wars type strategy game.
Background tiles like "plains" or "mountain" and stuff like that, so I can make a map.
Does anybody have a link to maybe a free resources page? Somewhere that I could find some tiles I could use because I'm not too good an artist, and I could go for anything right now.

    Background tiles can't be that hard, especially at Advance Wars' resolution. I'm not advocating copying, but if you just boot up Advance Wars and look closely at how they created those tiles, you can understand how they did it and make something simliar. They really just use 3 or 4 colors, and the only complicated part is handling the edges.

    To be a bit more specific, I suck at creating atmospheric outer space background tiles.
    Asteroids, star fields, and the like.
