Or should I stick with plain, white paper? I tried to do a search on this, but I couldn't find any info on this.

I understand wanting to stick out and be unique, but I would just stick to plain paper. If you really don't want to use white, maybe a light, pastel color would be nice. But no designs.
I deal with a lot of HR stuff at work. Whenever I see resumes on "designer" paper, I honestly think that they're trying too hard. It just don't strike me as professional.
And for the love of G-d and all things Elle Woods, make sure it's not scented!
