Something New

Lately I have been thinking about getting a new background for my blog, but I'm not sure about which one I should get. So I've been looking around at different websites at different backgrounds and I have found a few that I like. I'm going to put a poll up in my side-bar and you can vote on which one you like the best. I will list them by letters. (e.g. A, B, C)

Here is A.

I don't know wether this one is to....... well boring I guess. What do you think.

B.

For me I thought this one is a bit to girly, but after a bit I might get use to it.

C.

I thought this one was nice fresh, but its just so different to what I'm use too.

D.

And this is another one that I thought might be a bit girly. But it is sweet.

Please vote, I would really like your advice and opinion. Thanks
