I like it! I've been trying to figure out what to make with some oriental fabric I bought at a store closing sale. I think I'll do this, too! Is there a particular pattern you used or just "invented"????? Oh, yeah...I like the light background, too.
BTW -- somewhere, someone suggested trying different layouts and taking digital pics of them to help with placement. I did that with my last big scrappy and found it REALLY helps. Also...I turned them into black and white photos to look for "values".....that might help you decide on the layout here.
