I am a follower of Pugly Pixel - she is a great designer and photographer and she shares lots of great ideas.
One thing I learned from her about was a cool web site called Colour Lovers. It's an entire web site of color palettes and patterns. You can save copies of the patterns and then use them as cool new backgrounds to keep your blog fresh without having to work too hard. They have 96,393 different patterns - so I am sure you will find something you, ahem, love.
For a quick tutorial, in Blogger, go to Design, then Template Designer, on the left, click Background, click on the background image and there is an Upload Image option on the upper right.
Here are some favorite patterns after taking a quick tour last night. Click on the link to be taken the the right page!
I love that site and am constantly keeping an eye on their wallpaper-esque color combos. (If not for blog backgrounds, then for jewelry inspiraton!)
