Well, maye you could explain how you did the background!

[badaudio]

probably some grunge brushing,and for 12 yrs old im very impressed

[advantage]

well i downloaded xephyrs 16 brush set from deviant art and brush around with the scratches and in the corner i used Brush 15,but you can use any brush set and get a bg your pleased with , for the GIMP brushes they vary on the page if you cant find xephyr's brushes they're usually on the top 5 pages
type in Deviant Art GIMP Brushes and go to the First result.
@Bad Audio thanks ^^
