For a first attempt, it's not a bad start. There a couple things that you should keep in mind though.

First of all, you've got waaaaaay too many things scattered around. When making a tag, try to keep it as focused as possible. In this case, omit the keyblades on both sides. That way, the focus would be on the stock, which would be Sora and Roxas. Taking out Roxas would also be a good idea, so that the whole thing would just revolve around Sora.

Second, you've got to remember size. I don't remember who, but when I first started, I remembered someone telling me that the bigger the canvas, the more space you have to fill. Not to say negative space is bad, but there's no negative space in this tag. It's all filled up with a repetitive background.

Next, coloring. try to have the whole piece in one color scheme. It's more friendly to the eyes. And it looks better. For this one, there was good potential to use blues, yellows, some pinks, and the like. If you can't decide what colors to use, try borrowing some colors from the stock. It'd help with blending and even lighting if you're a bit farther along.

Remember to start with the stock first and then work around it, rather than making premade backgrounds and trying to blend your stocks in with it. Gives it a more "organic" look, for a lack of better terms.

Keep trying, though. You only get better with practice.
