    Something I just whipped up, not sure how I feel about it. The colors are either love or hate, as far as I can tell.

    Its kind of a WIP, as I dont feel this is necessarily a final piece...

    Like always, don't bull---- me. If you think somethings off, tell me, I always accept respectful and constructive critique.

    I like the overall look of it, but to me, that red bar at the top looks out of place with the other color choices you have made. Other than that, it looks really nice. A simple look, but nice and clean.

    Love the colors, it's really great. I can never make a template like that :(

    It's a little busy though, it feels like too much is being cramped into a little space. You should make some distance between tables and all that so that it's easier on the eyes. Good job with this btw ^_^

    I'll keep going back and forth with and without the red bar at the top. The red bar adds a little excitement to it, is what I feel, and breaks away from the color scheme a bit (nice to have a thing or two stand out).

    it's very iffy. I like the colors, but the dark red bar doesn't flow at all with the bright pink and greens.

    Also, I see in your content boxes that they are actually boxes. I am not fond if this, maybe just make a small background gradient behind the titles, no actual boxes, just imply that they are there :). I think that will give a less boxier feel and more of a friendly type feel.

    Over all, 8/10, I love it, very simple, yet very effective :)
