Man this is really pretty! Love the realism you've got going - especially the paper texture. I think you should add a subtle highlight to the tape where the edge of the picture is - so it looks as though the tape is conforming to it a bit. Also, I'd reduce the size of the drop shadow on the tape and make it a bit lighter. It kinda feels like the tape is floating above the pictures right now.
All of the little details are terrific, but there's something about the loop of string that is suspending the tip from beneath the header - it seems flat compared to the other elements (maybe because the lighter areas are on the inside of the loop for both sides?) and I keep wondering "what is it looping around under the header?", because the top ends of the string seem too close together (like they converge /just/ behind the header, not farther up.)

Cool leather texture.

Looks great, though you might want to straighten out the top of the paper. It'll eliminate the jagged edge.
Also, the drop shadow under the top bar is a little extreme, and the top bar might be a bit too saturated.
