I cut pieces from the porcelain pumpkin image, added them onto the stone ball. Colored and added shadows to every element.
Added dwarf, added shadows for him, added backround and grass, and colored using a couple of adjustment layers.
Added butterflies, galaxies and light beams brushes.
Added gradients to obtain warm color and light.

A couple of the butterflies shouldn't be casting shadows on the air, otherwise not bad...
Edit: Shadows corrected, good luck.
