Boarders have their place, especially if you want to add a photocredit or email address on your photo. Put it in the boarder instead of ON the photo.
You're absolutely right, it's not all about the camera. It's all about knowing how to work within your limitations. There's tons of free info on the web about how to properly compose and design a photo, and plenty of relatively cheep books that will do the same for you. Read up on those first.
Just as a pointer, in the first pic the front flower is cut off. Why? It makes it hard to tell which flower is the focus.
The second one is slightly out of focus and the blown highlights mess with the picture a bit. In this case, though, it kinda works, though I'm guessing you didn't do it intentionally.
Take a bunch of pictures. It's a digital after all and costs next to nothing to do. Look at which pictures you like and then figure out why you like them and no others. Also compare with photos you see in magazines, ads, here, etc.
once you get used to analyzing your photos, you start to worry about the issues before hitting the shutter, and will start taking fewer bad pics and more good ones. Repeat the process and soon enough you'll have a pretty good idea of what you're doing.
