I think it's very pretty. Your limited colour scheme looks great and the flower you added stands out really nice. I
like your original character as well, I'm especially drawn to her eyes, they're very captivating.
You could have textured her a little so that she matches the background more but aside from that detail I think
it's an awesomepiece of work which you can be proud of.
Artist Comment
Allow me not to say anything about this wall. It is a purely emotional thing right now. You may ask for my psd file to see how I worked.
Scenario:
There is a blind girl I keep dreaming about...
Running for her life
The dark rain from her eyes still falls
Breathtaking butterfly
Chose a dark day to live
Save one breath for me
A Loner longing for
The cadence of her last breath
Why do I miss someone I never met?
With bated breath I lay
Sea winds brought her to me
A butterfly, mere one-day
Miracle of life
And all the poetry in the world
Finally makes sense to me
Put to rest, all that's not life
Drink for beauty
And fill my blank page
Sometimes a dream turns into a dream
...Me

Ps1. You are most welcomed to point out all my imperfections (oh, and they are a zillion, I know) BUT you are not
allowed to hate my character cause I most certainly love her (!)
Ps2. Specially dedicated to Ilona, a wonderful girl which I consider as a sister. She has always been great to
me...great to anyone...and she deserves all the love in the world.
ATTENTION: I DO NOT KNOW JAPANESE/CHINESE?KANJI All the characters are based on a commercial picture I found in google
for japanese products (vectored in Illustrator CS3) and the Kanji characters are from: http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/art/Kanji-Photoshop-Brushes-37996404
If any of you would like to help me out on rewriting the specific section of the wallpaper PLEASE send me a note with
words you would like to see written in these languages or symbols. Arigato^^ I hope I have not written anything
offensive (?!)

Like Erdbeermilch said, her eyes are especially captivating and expressive :) I love the subtle tones on her skin (gradient mesh?). I like how you vectored the strands of her hair, though I think it could be a bit fuller since her face looks slightly big because of the hair.
I like the colour scheme and the composition with the flowers in the back, but I don't think you need that block of text on the bottom left. The top bit of text is fine since it's stylized and flowy, but the bottom bit is too blocky and kinda disrupts the flow of the flowers =\
Anyway, awesome work once again ^^
