(WIP) CG Sept/Oct Lite Mapping Challenge: Caverns of Chaos section 1

So I've joined another challenge at the guild, and this time we are doing a community challenge. We each have a section of the Caverns of Chaos, and we are remapping it. Because I've been on a 5 month forced vacation from mapping, I decided to enter the challenge, with one of the easier sections... section 1
Section 1 has two relatively small caverns that are not connected with each other. The first part is not connected with anything, and the second part connects to another section that someone else is mapping. This is the map that led to my trouble shooting thread about the program crashing when I minimalize the map window.
I'm basically using this challenge to refresh my memory of some of the more advanced uses for cc3+... I didn't realize how much I had forgotten how to do!
Anyway, this map is of a set of caverns that start in a valley, and go up a hillside (mountain side?) which means, once I remembered it, I get to use Shessar's cliff tutorial! I've used and tweaked her river tutorials so much I can almost do them in my sleep... but the cliffs, not so much
.
as always, questions, comments, suggestions are always welcome as I go through this process!

You might want to double-check the effects on the cave sheets. It looks like the caves are floating over the stone.
And about the effects, I know... I haven't found that happy medium yet, I'm still working on it.
The issue is the grass fill I chose to make the patches. It's darker, and a different shade of green than the original grass I used. I know I can use the hue/saturation to change the color so that it matches... but I have NO CLUE what I'm doing here. I've been trying to make the two grass shades match for the past two hours, and I can't seem to get it right. Here is the image with the two grasses, each with their original color. Once I can get the two to match, I think it will look great. The problem is getting there!
The only thing I might suggest is to put a trail leading to the entrance.
