    Is this what you want? The background is a little sloppy because of the watermarks.

    Im not sure what size image you have...but its possible with a larger version alot more could be done...I find it extremely hard to show you a finished product without the proper images..

    Also do you want some sort of tagline?

    Mike S. - yes, is it possible to make the text larger?

    ScarletWolfe - The actual image is 900 x 771. I like the white text with the brown background! Is it possbile to use a script instead? and maybe the pink heart from the bag/or the whole bag beside it? just an idea.

    I'd love to hear your suggestions as well! The site will sell maternity clothes and baby clothes/supplies. If you have a tagline in mind that would be great! If not we could just make the text bigger?

    SecureWebDev - thanks! the text is a little plain for me... but I like that you are thinking of taglines!

    RNHalawi - nice to see you again! I like the script text, butterflies and hearts. Nice touches!

    Everyone - You don't have to use this image background, I just thought it might be easier for everyone.

    lightless - I'd love to hear your ideas! I may not use a tagline, but I'll send you $5 if I do use one of yours. This also goes for anyone else with tagline ideas.

    SecureWebDev - I like the text size and tagline placement. Thanks!

    The PhoenixBird - Nice choice of text/border colors - They stand out well!

    Personally...Id use the image twice in the header...one close up with only the head and tummy...then the smaller version showing the background all the way to the floor...


    This is just a quick mock up...

    www.scarlet-designs.com/MBbanner.jpg

    or tagline could be shortened to One-stop shop for mommies to be.
