Very nice work with the colours in the scenery, it has a charmingly autumnal feel. I understand why you have the background in "soft focus" so that it doesn't pull too much attention from Toffee and the lettering that will go over it. Personally, I'd have left the background maybe just a little sharper, so that I could pay attention to it if I wanted to, but I would not advise you to go back and try to change it at this point. Golden Leaf's con badges will be wonderful!
Toffee is adorable! He gives the impression of having a simple mind, but I think he's more clever than he appears. It's sweet that he seems just a little bit shy: his head turned away, but his eyes towards us; his hands in a guarded position, but not strongly guarded and his legs spread. *giggles* It seems as if he only needs a little persuading to be friends. (Perhaps some bread with a bit of nice, warm Swiss cheese?) His colours are different from the squirrels around here, perhaps Switzerland has a different species. Anyway, he's very pretty!
For whatever it might be worth, I commend you on a job well done!
