Help With New Look For My Blog

Hi gals

I really need your help!!! Angie Wenke of Heartland Graphics just made me this new banner and backround for my blog. The problem is I can't figure out how to put the new backround on the page. Does any one out there know how to do it. If so please help!!! Since I can't get the backround on the page I have been playing around with the colors all night. I am limited with the colors blogger offers so I am having trouble matching them up.

What do you think of these colors? What do you think of my new banner? Any help on placing my new backround on or suggestions on the colors would be appreciated.


Thank You gals for your help!!!
