Card Disagreement

My husband and I are not in agreement about the card below. He thinks it's blah. I designed it for a challenge at CPS-Card Sketches (Sketch CP5142). It may not be the best card I've ever made, but it certainly isn't blah! Not every card is a masterpeice. What does he know anyway!?!??!
