I put the plain white tissue box on a piece of red fleece and shot from above with auto flash under a single 60w incandescent lamp. I cropped the photo and adjusted the levels in Photoshop to heighten the varying textures, highlights and shadows somewhat.

The 'from above' theme is ok in this photo... The only real issue I have with this photo is the small size. It's quite difficult to view the detail of this image at the small dimensions. In a situation like this, the light and shadow play in important role in the image, but the small size makes it very difficult for the viewer to work out those details.
I don't know much about your camera, but I would also suggest that the on-cam flash is almost always a bad idea for still life photography. The flash casts harsh shadows in many cases and causes some elements of your image to be over exposed or washed out...
It's a bit too small an image, and I'm afraid it's not among the most interesting of the challenge. If you're new to the site, by chance, do by all means take advantage of the quality that's allowed here. Your shot is less than 10K, while it could be 15 times that. Do be sure to size the image as large as allowable -- it'll definitely help future entries :)
Very sharp and good color photo. It seems a little small and tightly cropped. Lighting - harsh/glaring. Challenge - met, probably, but w/o a frame of reference, the tissue box could be looming over your head....and...gosh how do I say this??? effort??? 4 Swash
