Hey, i realy like your piece and the cartoony feel of the house.
You already got allot of great advice on the shadowing, so here is my opinion of it.
You should try experiment some more on the values, maybe tone everything down a bit to create some more contrast. I feel that it's way to bright atm for being a night scene.
Light bounces, even on nature. So you can try add some suddle value changes on the house even thou it is supposed to be dark.
The tree has more highlights and just as bright ones, as your metallic surfaces on the roof. That will also make the tree steal allot of the focus away from the house.
The door feels very small compared to some windows. (Especially compared to the window on the left.) Might have to do with some perspective issues. Even if you go for a certain look, it is always good to have some solid guidelines.
Lastly i would probably crop the picture to get rid of some empty space. (dosent feel like the background trees are that important, more like a filler.)
Here is my quick paintover:
