I think you get the concept. The execution may be a bit overdone as far as the division and ratio of bokeh to subject. Rather than an effective use of bokeh it seems as though this object in the front/right it just in the way of an otherwise ordinary shot of your back yard birdhouse. The hydrangea and branches might be props for another try. I'd like to see you shoot the birdhouse, at sunset or sunrise or with some sort of direct lighting (if the sun never hits is naturally) that casts shadows and highlights the house and use some of those branches as the foreground bokeh, perhaps lit also, so there may be some mystery or more interest.

I read that again today. I apologize for sounding harsh. I am trying to comment on all shots in this challenge. To say what I like and comment on what I think could be improved. I wish more people would do this, as I could certainly use more comments on my shots!

Too much bokeh in the foreground, if you ask me.

I like the background portion of the shot, but the Bokeh detracts from it rather than adding.
