I suck at background

[FantasyGamerX]

I suck at backgrounds. I usually use a gradient and for a lot of projects it looks nice! But I'm making a banner for my gaming channel and I can't think of how to do a background. Any suggestions :/???
I want it to be orange I think but I'm open to anything, you think might look good on a gaming banner
