Okay, enough blocks and variations, time to get some doodads and then try to get at least one character done.

Very pretty! About adding character... You can "cheat" a bit. You can add animal if it is easier for you although jams are for challenge (or at least for fun)

In the center and in the top I see a shadow for those skewed blocks. I am not sure that the shadow should differ by size from usual blocks but it seems to me that maybe should at least a little? idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
