Couple of points. I'd assume it's for some type of girl related childrens products, very strong colors with lot of contrast...not too crazy for the colors. I find it difficult to make out the images in the background, so they really add no value to the banner in my opinon. This is also an issue because the text is not very descriptive and assumes I have a certain impression of the product. I don't know why I would go to her basement in the first place. The furnace, laundry, radon, etc.?
Consider this book...has a cd with illustrator swatch combos.

Changing my answer! The first link I clicked on while at work, and it was really tiny and I think it just may have been our server that screwed things up.
Now that I am at home - the second link - MUCH better. If that's the size it's going to be, that's good.
Still - I like the purple but am not sure if it should be a little more vibrant to offset the medium-blue background. Just a little more. Crazy thought - I suddenly wondered how it would look against a mossy green background.
And maybe have the "As Well as Yours" part appear just another second or two behind the "Our Home" ?
I like how the dot-dot-dot (ellipsis) appear - good pacing.
It's pretty cool that you're offering free banners - lots of people don't have the time/inclination to do it themselves but want something!

Colors need work. Maybe darken background and move type to white or light pink if you must. Lose the black stroke altogether, it causes busyness and crams your letters together. And speaking of letterspacing, watch your kerning. The ellipsis is too far away, and the apostrophe leaves a huge hole.

All I managed to see was a little blue kind of a sticker with some writing. So I guess there is more but there is a problem with the system of the computer I am using.

I have read the other responses and would tend to agree that your background color could be different. It seems too intense a color to provide a pleasant contrast with the lettering. A darker or duller blue might work better.

Colors are alright. Sort of boring though. Maybe add a bit more going on.

Not bad at all, really, I like the color choices, maybe if it was a little bigger, it would pack more of a punch though.
