^ Maybe the green from the cap would fit a bit better than the green you're currently using? Otherwise it looks really cool.
^I think those look pretty simple, Amanda, and not very inventive/nice at all D: The first one is the nicest. I guess, also, when making a wallpaper, you should attempt to make it at the highest probable resolution size, so 1920 x 1080, ensuring it'll resize properly for most screens.
I made them for something else entirely in a very specific size, but someone asked me to remove some (or all) of the text on these few so they could use them as wallpapers. They're intended for use as pretty small labels (example), so they had to be fairly simple to look very nice in print.
@Amanda I used to work a lot on anime wallpapers and submit them on reddit, and based on the feedback I was getting, I have 2 advices I could give you, if you don't mind :P
Try to not make the background completely plain :) Low opacity textures, or even the scanlines you use on your signatures would work like a charm. Soft light sources on the BG look amazing aswell.
If you're going to be making text, it should never be more prominent than the render of the wallpaper, as it keeps catching the eye and doesn't really blend in with the wallpaper (what I mean by this is that whenever the user will look at his desktop, he will subconsciously read only the text and not look at the wallpaper as a whole.
Here are some of the wallpapers I made for reddit:
Suzumiya Haruhi
Mahou Shojo Madoka Magica
Oshino Shinobu
Hachikuji Mayoi
Himeko Inaba
EDIT: I just noticed they were supposed to be tea labels, my bad :S Disregard my 2nd advice then :3

no worries xD
I offered to make the person something entirely new, but they didn't want me to change these hardly at all for some reason.
For the record, I've made a wallpaper more than once in the past.
Unrelated: WiP banner for a guide I'm working on...obviously it needs text, but yea
