yeah i don't like the colors much either. i think it ruins the wood grain, which is a huge sin in my book becuase i'm obsessed with wood backgrounds. where did you get that one?
anyway, even though i don't love the colors, i get what you were going for. since it's supposed to be halloween-ish then it's ok. i don't think we share the same style in general, but i do think this layout is much improved from your previous ones. |

The different parts of it look nice, just not together. Maybe change the green bars to orange and desaturate the wood? Also, the banner looks a little LQ. Did you save it as a PNG?

I like the wood pattern. And that little coffee graphic, haha.
I'm not feelin the Arial on the title. Tbh, it auto kills the whole layout for me and looks pretty amateurish. Try to find a different font other than Arial, probably a sans-serif font. Unless you can pull off a serif font. |

It's simple, but I think it will work for you. I have to agree with Mark on the font though. For some reason it cheapens the layout.

Mark pretty much said what I was planning on. Heh.
