Very Perty And Colorful, Definatly catches the eye. *eyes pop out and get stuck to image* AHHH!! AHHHH!! HELPME!! AHHH!! Though seriously, it looks very nice. I kinda wonder how you did the background there. All I did was take a 3D model that I made, took a pic, threw it on there, some text and text effects and a cloudy background, all with the inovations of PhotoShop. ^_^ Lol How the heck do you do that background?

well i already sorta told you jandanr but for the benefit of everybody else (in  photoshop 7).....
Step 1 is to fill a blank space with a lightly shade of whatever color dosent matter
step 2 Take the airbrush and start scribbling randomly on the background. use at least 3 different shades.
Step 3 Filter>liquify   now swirl and play around till those shades are nice and mixed up.
step 4 Filter>texture>stained glass (this creates the homeycomb effect)
step 5 Filter >artistic>plastic wrap (this creates cool looking lines in the picture you will see soon)
step 5 Image>mode>greyscale (where did my colors go?)
step 6 Image> Mode>indexed color (they are coming back i promise)
step 7 image>mode>color table a window will appear with a drop down menu, select balck body on the drop down menu then press ok. (OOOOO its firery)
step 8 image>mode>RGB (things work more smoorthly in rgb usually)
step 9 image> adjustments >invert (brrrrrr its kold in here!
step 10  ENJOY YOUR FROZEN SOLID SHINY HOMEYCOMB BACKGROUND THING
note: depending on what shades you use and how you mix them this background will come out a little different every time.

HOPE THAT HELPS      

umm yea, enjoy your icy background
