Hi! Thanks for your patience. I'm back with more of a mock-up now.

I found a glitter/sparkle effect that has a similar color to the lilies, so I put that over the dashboard's background. As for the big lily in the corner, I was planning for that to be replaced with a cluster of smaller ones. Like I said, PS isn't my strong suit, but I was thinking of using this same image and overlapping copies to make it?

Also, I added lines between the days on the plurk timeline. You can see the full example here.

Please let me know if this is continuing in the correct direction for you. I think it's starting to come together but I want to see what you think.
