I need a new layout for my site, but I have no inspiration. I love victorian backgrounds and simple layouts. I'd like it to be light, no pink (my current layout is mostly pink). And no blue. My first layout was blue. I was thinking white, grey, or black with a little bit of red or dark purple or some other colour :p. Remember to keep it simple. Make sure it says Absolute Serenity & save the .pspimage just in case :)
No celebrity images.

Examples:

http://quirked.net -- I love the simplicity, with the floral brush. This is my favourite example.
http://www.7seas-designs.com/ -- this one isn't simple, but I love the colours
http://fake-a-smile.com/ -- Again, I love the simplicity - but no celeb images
http://www.lyndsay.dirtyrawr.org/ -- I love the shade of purple she's used for her headers.


If it's going to be image mapped, I'd only need these links:

SITE
HER
VISITOR
SHOP
CLEAR or HOME (whichever :))
I'd prefer not image mapped. So if you think it looks good, show a copy with and without the image mapping :)
I don't want a HUGE header. Only enough to cover about half to two-thirds of the screen.

First place winner will be paid $2.00USD or 3500 points and free advertising on my site and/or my signature.
Second place gets free advertising for 2 months (site or sig) and 1000 points.

I only need the header. No need for it to be coded.

@Laura: Did you save a .pspimage? If you did, there's a few things I would change. I love the fading idea and the rounded corners. I was thinking you could change the font to Century Gothic or something equally simple. Then make the banner & content area both about 25% smaller in width, get rid of the image mapping, and separate them - make a sidebar and content area. PM me if you don't understand.

@uniqueangel: Sorry, but no. It's not simplistic enough and not exactly what I'm looking for. But feel free to keep trying! :)

@Candice: I'd prefer not to have images, but you can try and if I don't like it you can try again :)

@Cammy: Read everything in my first post before asking questions.

I gave examples - how else do you want me to explain how simple I want it to be? Am I not allowed to be picky when I'm paying someone for something? If I'm paying with money I've earned, should I not be getting something I fall in love with?

Sorry, but I just don't see how I can explain how simple I want something - I gave examples and made comments on what I liked about each.
