I've always been a big believer in simplicity. Going through the backgrounds available I found a few that I liked but felt with text on top would be too cluttered. I found the birds on this one to be interesting while still maintaining the simplicity I love. I chose the tan color to make text pop without being boring white, the shades of red just look really nice with it. Right now I'm still getting a feel for what I can do but I think I might enjoy this whole "blogging" thing........
