With the bright turquoise background (for me) the light / bright blonde was too much. I didn't like it. However, the dark brunette / black hair grounds the turquoise and ties in with the font. Also, her face it A LOT more attractive. It matches much better, I like it! I'm very picky, and have to say, well done. Brent is going to do a template for me as well.
Psssssssssssst, forget Donna Reed or June Cleaver. This cartoon reminds me of Maggie (Liz Taylor) from the movie, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.
