Here is the front: 
Here is the back of it:
I did this on 18 count oatmeal aida.
I've moved at least 4 times in the progress of this piece. Obviously I wasn't stitching for 7 years, but that's how long this piece has been on the burner. It's surreal to see it complete. And even at the end of it, I don't have much to say other than I'm glad it's done. The confetti stitching was really, really bad on it.
If anyone is interested in the progression of the piece, you can check it out here: https://imgur.com/a/L0Lp4. You can actually see my camera improve over the years. My skill improved over the course of this as well. When I started, I was still making knots in my thread instead of looping the ends, so the bottom of it is a bit lumpy because of that. I honestly don't mind, though.
While it took me 1000x longer than anyone else doing this, I'm very proud of the end result.
