A friend once said it looks like a house, and now that's all I can see. It's so cute.

My favorite one is fire (and I can't type it here) because it looks like a man (character) waving about as if on fire. I know that's kind of sick.

I've many favourites, but 龜 is right up there among them. It's such a pleasure to write, flows from the pen and can hardly fail to come out looking good, and is such a splendid representation of the lovely creature(s) it depicts.
If I prioritized the acquisition of wealth above other purposes in life, I might still have come to Taiwan to study Chinese, but I doubt I would have remained here.
