I've hit a mentall road block

I was designing a backgrond for myself (atleast, it was supposed to be only for me until now), when I just suddenly lost inspiration-- here. I'd like suggestions on what to put in those black areas... actually I'd also wouldnt mind comments that would help too.

I whats that background/darker red stuff done in? Photoshop? Cool effect.

its a mix between blending modes, opacity, and a kpt5 filter (frax flame) - Actually I agree with you on that one, it has some really cool effects on a piece of work when it is used correctly

I like it, but it has way to many jagged edges, maybe you could somehow get rid of them?

Ya, I accidently ran the sharpen filter on the huge rose like thing (lol :D), but it sort of helped define the fact that its in the front of the bg, which is why I chose to stay with it... I can revert, but I would have to make the rose thing all over again :rolleyes:. Unfortunatly, should I choose to restart the rose thing, it will be impossible to keep the shape of it in tact. I'll see if I can blur the edges...
