Yea that's what it is, it's rather difficult to take a macro in near pitch black with a 2 or 3 year old point and shoot.

I feel your pain!!!
But isn't there a setting on your camera that allows you to adjust the flash intensity?
I found something on mine.... or at least I think that's what it does, but I haven't played with it yet

I realize that x3 Why don't you try taking the shot when the outdoor lighting is right? : >
I think that taking the shot at night allows you to have a dark background and having the light only on the subject....
