I'm uploading this and feeling several emotions at once; relief, disappointment in myself, pride in myself, anxiety about my process, and concern over where the time it took me to actually complete this went.
When I started it, it was Animal Crossing fanart, hence the name. That was when ACNL was new, which was in June 2013. As of this upload it's March 2014. I started this 9 months ago, I redid it three times, and I gave up on it a dozen. I don't know why, but it was a challenge even though Ididn't make it experimental until after most of the coloring was complete. I might have to meditate on which part of my spirit this endeavor tasked the most and what I can take away from it.
I wanted to add flowers and some background mountains - she's on top of a very high hill - but I figured the process might add another 9 months to the drawing and I don't know why but I just want to upload it. I don't know if I'll update it later or not, depends on if I decide to go through with adding flowers, but for now here it is, an idea I'm ultimately glad I didn't scrap and did, in some way, see through to the end.
I don't know if I'll make a jigsaw puzzle. It depends on if I feel like adding more to it or if anyone wants me to make one of it the way it is. During a redesign I cropped the sides so I could make a jigsaw puzzle of it within the resolution limits of the site I use so it wouldn't be much trouble.
I hope everyone likes this. There are things I both like and don't like about it, but I've been working on it on and off for nearly a year so I need to distance myself from it and maybe it'll look better to me later.

Apearance:
I think you've done very well. The background is quite lovely in design, and the quality is really nice. The content is cute, I can hear the character going "It's growing! Omigosh! It's growing!" (either aloud or in thought), and it has me looking out my window at the nice early spring day I'm having today ^,^
Content: (only if you decide to put more work into it later)
Mountains not-needed. You get the idea she's up fairly high.. and you're not going to get on a hill that high that is close enough to see mountains in distance (least not in my experience, might be different in other places).. perhaps some birds flying in distant background instead?
The clouds along the bottom, makes it feel like it's too high for just a hill, and usually mountains peeking above the clouds doesn't have much growth on them.
As for flowers.. if you do add them, do so scarcely, they could add a nice touch but would be easy to go overboard with. Maybe some closed flower buds (since image feels like mid spring) mixed among some open flowers.
