I'm by no means a good artist, but I'll just throw what I can at ya. Though it sounds really annoying and i get that, i actually prefer the first one that you did. The atmosphere is much more fitting for a slightly dark and disturbing dream, while the latest one is a bit fluffy and light for me.
Personally I would try doing a more dynamic angle for the camera, as everything is very 2D and static, try for example going bottom right so that you are looking up at the house with the alien above, so you can include both and also give it a more dynamic 3D look. If you tilted the camera and blurred the edges it would also push the dream like feel of the piece a bit more too.
Also I'd try to push the value a bit more, its all become a tad muddy in my opinion- try getting some highlights in there, such as on some of the leaves on the trees or on the edge of gutters etc, and try getting some contrast between hard and soft edges- at the moment it all kind of blurs into one a bit.
Anyway, that is just my opinion, hopefully some of that helps in my rambling :)
Good luck with it, will stay tuned for more.
