Used only the colors dark green for the background and white for the text. Can use the other colors for the links if you would like, but I have been using the text color throughout on my pages.

The texture on the green Main Background is Texture Effects-Straw Wall, Custom 3 preset. My background tile is one I made a while ago using a Christmas gradient and the Flaming Pear Ornament plugin. Had no idea about using it until now and hope it is not too busy here. I also made a crystal-like and a green, but the colors would be monochromatic shades of crystal or green. Probably would be nice but I am thinking ahead to the traditional Christmas colors.

The header was flood filled with the Main Background texture tile. Used Broadway font size 48 and flood filled with the ornament background tile. Added Soft Edges inner bevel and a slight drop shadow. Made a 5 border and filled with a green that looks kind of gold, #968F4B, added Soft Edges inner bevel and a slight drop shadow. Second border is 10 and flood filled with the ornament tile, Soft Edges inner bevel added. Used the same goldish green for a border on the color swatches.
