wow, wow! I just watched the recording. Thanks so much everyone, was stocked just to make the final 16! Congrats 
Congrats 
@Janette I love the happy colors of this! I think you are right about the viewer's attention being drawn to the tree. Part of it, I think, is the orange against the blue color contrast. I know people have mixed feelings about grey (there may be a color mixing joke in there somewhere) but if the orange were toned down a bit or darkened, that might help...it would also make the glowy fairy lights stand out even more.
Did you get a chance to watch Critique Arena live? One of the top 16 had perspective like yours where it's almost flattened...if you didn't see it live, check out the recording. I know Lee said something nice about it.
I love your color choices and the spiral staircase up an spiral slide down. I see the red paper lantern...are there any other references to your character that would identify him?
