In Need of a Summery Summertime

[emipengi]

After spending countless months in webdesign limbo, something finally came to me last night while I was idly messing with Photoshop. Obviously it's a mess, but that's the basic design I would perfect. I'm digging the pink and green and I like the combo with brown, but I feel there's too much brown and it's dulling it down. I've tried lightening and darkening the header so it doesn't blend in with the background (and vice-versa) but it never looks good. I'm undecided about the pattern in general. Too 60's for the script font and delicate swirls? Suggestions?

Header navigation would be website categories (shrines, cliques, projects). Left navigation would be domain related (about, links, etc.). Everything would load in the right column.

Also, cool site for when you have color block. Too bad it's not helping me currently. XD
