Ok, let's go by example here. Out of the ones you've posted I like this one the best:


It's straightforwardly simple, perfectly readable, has a bright, but not searingly so colour scheme (although using only shades of red is a bit too safe) and the floral brush frames the center image instead of dominating it. You should be very happy with this one.

On the other hand:


Is pretty awful. That bloom and glare entirely drowns out the sprite you've used; completely wasting the notion that it's pixelart. The centerpiece is so small, it's entirely lost in the jumble of layers and abstract shapes that have been thrown in with the rest of the image. At first glance I couldn't see what the image was meant to be at all; before I made out the back and legs of the sprite, and then after another half-second, the unobtrusive 'KYO' off to one side.

That's not attractive graphic design. Complexity and detail is great, but your primary aim should be readability. If the main aspect of the image doesn't leap from the screen and punch you in the eyes, then it's not working.
