Trying Out A New Look

As you can probably see I'm trying out a new look. I think the center may be too white or bright and needs to be a soft shade of color--I think. What do you think? Since you are the reader, is it too white/bright or is it ok? The template comes in another color HERE, but I wasn't sure if that was too dark. Please let me know what you think. I love both of these, but just can't decide--ya know change is hard. LOL! I can keep looking. Hmmm...decisions, decisions.....
