That Tree-trunk of mine looks horrible. Next up: the main title.

Right in the lower-middle section of the tree trunk you make a very nice trunk-texture; it's a pain in the neck, definitely, but spreading that out across almost all of the tree will make the trunk look much better.
The overall problem is that everything (with the exception of a few areas) looks too scribble-y and rough. Take the trunk, for instance: The shades you have around the trunk texture looks really sloppily done.
On the treetop, what makes it looks bad is the inconsistent dithering. Dithering doesn't have to be perfect 50-50 pixels, of course, but at the very least establish a fading pattern and stick with it.
There are some stray blue pixels in the lower-right-most cloud. The clouds, by the way, aren't bad, they just need to be smoother, by way of dithering or another shade. The left-most of the three center clouds (the one with three 'tails' on its right end) needs a lot of help with its outline (it doesn't look like a cloud right now), but other than that the clouds are pretty good.
