Psycho

I couldn't find a Halloween background for my laptop that I really liked (plenty for Christmas though), so I started making one myself. It has taken a lot longer than I'd hoped (doesn't it always?), so I've been cramming over the weekend trying to finish in time to actually use it this year. I'm guessing at least half the time spent on this was clicking the hide layer button on and off (include it, don't include it...) moving layers around (Here? There? Over here?) and trial and error on styles of the objects, like the moon where I spent forever just trying to decide if it should be full or crescent. I'm almost done, but (as you can probably see) I'm fairly indecisive about this kind of stuff so I'd like to get a few opinions before I finish it up and post it to my thingy.
There's nothing bad showing, but (as is most of my artzy stuff) its a little borderline so I'm tagging NSFW just in case...

The Questions-
1- The Ribbon on Tsukasa's tail was placed so that the bottom part would be towards the end of the tail. Now I thinking it just looks upside down. Should I rotate it around?
2- They all have something on their head (Witch hat, devil horns, top hat, cat ears), but the other three have something else too (devil tail, magic wand, cat tail). I can't decide what, if anything, I could add to Miyuki. I kind of want to give her a second item, and it has to go with her witch hat in some way... I don't want to give her a wart or anything, and I definitely don't want to do a lot of editing to allow for her to hold a broom or something like that.
4- The original plan was to have Tsukasa deviate from the orange-and-black theme a little (just to change it up some. Why her? No particular reason). So I was going for mostly black, with something else to keep it from being solid, and happened to come up with the 'Boo!' on her bottoms. I rather like that, but of course you need a ghost to be saying Boo. I tried to put ghost eyes on her top (Similar to Miyuki's), but couldn't find anything I liked. They looked kind of odd on there, and not much like ghost eyes. So I tried putting two little ghosts on there (more like Pac-Man ghosts than the one in the background), but couldn't decide if I liked that either. Any suggestions? Leave it as is? Ghost on the bottoms, maybe?
5- Anything else I missed? Any questions or comments?
