feedback, please.

hi everybody, as many have requested a more discreet and personal layout in the comments of my latest giveaway, i was diligent today and created a new header. now i'm playing with the colours and background a bit, and i need your feedback for this, please. what do you think about it?

EDIT: some have suggested me to "clean up" the header picture. but i think i won't because the flowers are painted on japanese grass paper, so the yellowish colour and specks in it are it's natural flaws and so it may look "dirty" to you. also i'm a total idiot with any graphics program and am happy that at least i know how to cut my photos in iphoto :P 

in the end, i've chosen the version above. what do you think? i'm a bit stuck with colour coordinating and the background.
