Painting the Roses Red

I have been searching on several royalty free music websites and have not been successful in finding music that satisfies my overall vision of the film opening. So I decided to compose my own. Below is a photo of my work so far.

(I honestly should have done this a long time ago; I would've saved myself from so much stress.)

As inspiration, I took the original key of "Painting the Roses Red" from Disney's Alice in Wonderland and altered it. I played around with the notes and rhythms, changing and altering them in the process. The melody is also a lot slower, therefore seeming darker. 

When listening to the melody, one could hear the inspiration, but the creation is entirely my own. I plan to add chord structures in the final piece to complement the melody.
