Textures and Shadows
Textures and Shadows will make the difference between a computer generated layout and a "natural looking" computer generated layout.

 
This is what your layout will look like if you go directly to the torn paper section.
By adding a shadow to each piece of your layout, you will "lift" the pieces.
Bevel will give a "3D" effect to your components (this effect doesn't have to be dramatic to work: just look at the top of the yellow piece of paper.
For the final touch, add textures
>Filter>Texture>texturizer (you can import any texture through the drop down menu)
Make sure you select a light direction that is consistent with your shadows.
