Blue-green over magenta?

Now I'm just going overboard. Do I prefer blue-green over magenta? Not sure yet. Here's magenta:

Orange Vertical Stripes

I think this is OK.

Orange cross

hmm...maybe a little too norway.

Orange dots

I think the orange background is easier on the eyes.

Orange stripes

white stripes header makes my eyes go wonky. not sure I'm crazy about this orange though.

Dots Header

Here's the dots.

Stripey header or dots?

Stripes or dots header? I think I like stripes. Reminds me of an athletic sock.

Header #2

I just used a stock photo from picnik.com and jazzed it up. I tried dimensions of 1100x170 and1670x250 and they all look the same. There's a little gray space between the banner and the decorative stripe. I don't know if that can be hidden by getting just the right dimensions...

The template is blogger's Mr. Moto.

I didn't play around with font colors or anything, but as usual, I'm liking orange.

One thing about this template - it does not put a line between each post. I don't like that.

New Header

The photo is just a close-up of one of my blankets. I edited and doctored up the photo with picnik.com. I painstakingly worked out the dimensions to fit snugly in the banner space: 648 x 95.

This template is one of Blogger's Minima templates. So far, so good.
