Playing Around With Backgrounds

I just realized that there is this huge world of free blog backgrounds available on the web.  I'm having fun trying to jazz up my blog a bit but I'm not sure what I think.  I love this vibrant background but my blog is so picture heavy.  What do you think?  Is it too much?  You may see my blog change a few times in the next few days as I play around with this.  Would love to know what you think.  Thanks!

Update:  I've removed the background as I had some feedback that it doesn't look right when viewing with certain browsers.  Oh well.  It was fun to try.  Back to the white for the moment.  I'm sure I'll try this again in the future.
