Haha, well you certainly started out better than I did. xD It's pretty decent for a beginner, but okay some suggestions...try to make the BG match the renders in any way you can as far as color scheme goes. Also, it's really best to work with just one focal point, especially if you're just starting out. I actually used two-three focal points when I first started, but other artists told me to work with just one first and I took their advice. It's really much easier that way. =]
Also, try to use brushes in your signatures. They work wonders. xD C4Ds as well, mainly for lighting and light subtle effects in the background, but it's not required in order to make an awesome signature. I guess for now just focus on your BGs and blending.

That's nice and simple, you're much better than I was when I first started out!
I have a piece of advice though, try to make your sigs smaller, it may seem nice to have a larger canvas to work with, but you have more to fill.

Well you're progressing very well it seems. 
The last is pretty good. I liked the way you used the leaf brush to go with the render and switched the colours often. You seem like a very artistic sig maker and yes, it's very addicting when you first start. xD
Keep it up, I expect good things from you.

Hee hee, I remember when I first started. I was addicted as well... In fact, it was right around this time of year last year when I started.
Anyway, try using the eyedrop tool to pick colors from the stock that you can use in your background. From there, you can make gradients out of the colors. Make sure the light part of the tag is prominent in the middle and then fades out gradually. You seem to be using flat colors with erratically placed brushes as your backgrounds.
Your canvases are also too big.

Nothing much goes in the BG but I think you started better than I did :/ and your tags size (width and height) are big 
try to make around 350x130 something like that unless your prefer big sized tags like Fusionist. xD
Anyway keep it up.

I really like this one, it's simple, but somehow elegant. And I love how the colors match, and it's great brushwork ^^

and another random one
I really like this one, it's so pretty and the colours are nice
Mark and Casanova have been trying to teach me how to do it aswel, it's not going well at all, I envy you all
I can't even get a bloody image in there never mind the rest of it
Keep it up, you are doing reat
You're really good for a beginner.At the latest tag you should blend the left girl so she can match the background because the colors she has are opposite of the backroung and she attracts the most attention.
Sorry if what I'm writing is hard to understand.

This one is good in my eyes, so are the others but this one stands out to me because of the matching coulours etc. All in all it an excellent attempt for a begginer
This one is great, especially since you haven't had PS for long.
The colours really go well and suit Penelo and it's a great sig for a beginner.
Keep up the good work.
