Baz,
Interesting you mentioned the background, as I gave it a look already. It's a d3d1d1 color, which is a redish-gray. I tried to use a gif widget to remove the background color and leave the ghost images, but it just didn't do a complete job of it. It also has a quit large repeat as it's a 610px x 415px size. It could be cut-down to help.

Edit: Would you prefer I remove that background and replace with a brighter neutral or blueish-grey?
