Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I decided I'd like some feedback on my piece for the September prompt. The backstory is that the girl, Callie Coco, loves all cats and hasn't met a cat that didn't eventually like her. That is until she met Mr. Prickles, the cactus cat. All her usual tactics for winning over cats don't work on this strange cryptid creature so shes forced to think outside the box and figure out how to befriend him. She eventually does and is so proud she brings him to school.
Callie herself is very catlike, mischiveous and playful.

So heres what I have so far, and a quick reference for Mr. Prickles. My main questions are: Does the lighting read mid morning or evening? Should I add items like backpacks, lunch boxes, balls, etc, or would that make it too busy?
Thanks for looking and taking time to help me out

@Alesia-Roosma I would add something, that it shows as "school house" or school kids, like you said, some backpacks or some banner with "school" on it. Alltogether it looks very nice.

@MichaelaH Thanks! And good point about the school not looking like a school. I'll add some backpacks and some more identifiers that make the building look more schoolish
