I finally decided on a background that i made and I liked that didn't clash with the colours on my match stick characters. Since they have both green and red on them, there isn't really much choice in colour left that would actually look pleasant. However, I really liked the idea of purple, and a sun that has set, because it wouldn't blend in with the fire.
I stuck with the concepts from my initial storyboards and it was what I imagined the background to be as I was actually animating my characters. And I am really happy with it. I was stuck for a while because I didn't know what colour I should have for the wallpaper. Every other colour looked too contrapuntal to the match stick couple, and I even attempted textures for google images and then overlaying them, but still nothing. But I stuck to my style of gradients and ended up with this and I think it works quite well.
I also wanted to have an intro to my main scene of the match stick characters, that was of a house where you can see through the window the match stick couple on a date, and I drew it all out on Photoshop:
But I literally had no seconds left to spare, so I didn't end up using it in my final 20 seconds. Plus now looking at it, it doesn't really go with the aesthetic of the animation at all, or it's colour scheme, so in hindsight I am glad I didn't have time for it, but was still able to see what I could have added if necessary.
