What does it still need?, Feedback and possibly free brownies ^_^ Options

[RomanticHarmonie...]

So, I made this layout. It's my 2nd layout like this (3rd DIV layout) and I feel like it needs more. I made it for a contest because the girl told me to get more originality.

Could anyone tell me what more it needs? I was told to give it more space at the top and more to the banner but idk what to put on there. Feeback is very much appreciated.

purple flowers & brownies

I actually didn't think it was that purple. In fact, I thought it was pretty well tempered with the white background color. *shrugs*

The idea of fading it so that only the color purple shows through and the rest is greyscaled isn't bad, but since your picture only really has two colors (purple and green), I don't think it would do much.

On that note, you could also incorporate some green into the stylesheet. Green and purple can look nice next to each other if you pick the right shades. You can search "color palettes" on google and get sites that'll let you search by hue/shade/color/etc. For example, here's one I found on this site:

//edit.
Sorry, I just realized that none of this really addresses the issue of doing more to the image. <_< God, I'm horrible at giving advice.
