When I first saw the tile in the gallery, I thought that they were hanging hearts on a black background and I loved it. It wasn't until I pulled it up that I saw differently.
To be honest with you, I don't think that you need all of that background busy-ness. The hearts are beautiful and visually powerful enough on their own. A plain black background would only increase the red's impact.

Frank - At first glance, this has a 'grunge' look. But, with a longer view, the many details are intriguing and show a lot of creative thought. Very well done!
Brilliant work and love this upload, so many wonderful detail and textures to look at - love the way the hearts seem to be hanging on a delicate chain.
