I like it but I think it would look less "pasted" together if you make the rest of the brown background match the brown behind the words!

I liked the colors on the sample card so I matched them (I will take the picture down after you see it):

I couldn't find the HTML code for the brown. Can you tell me what it is and I'll fix it? Chat Icon Chat Icon

I am bored so I was messing around with it more:

(I like the words red matching the red at the top):

I am terrible at explaining how to do these so I hope someone can explain it better than me. To get the color click the "color picker tool" it looks like a eye dropper. then click on the color that you want (somewhere on your image). and that color will now be the color that you are using.

I use GIMP not Photoshop. I am not sure if the color codes are the same in both programs. If they are then brown is "301c01".
