#3. Design 2 blog Backgrounds

Today I completed the design for my "91 day bodyrock challenge"


And this is the design for this blog. They are both pretty simple, but add a bit of "life" to my blogs!

Let me know what you think of the design. I will be putting 5 dollars in my "101" challenge box, as I completed this task!!!
