Not bad but a few problems. Your holes in pcb are too small. Presumably they should be 0.038in to fit 0.1in headers, they are 0.028in which is too small. This is from the gerber drill.txt file which details the hole sizes from this sketch:
the line
T100C0.038000
is the headers (circled in green) the
T101C0.028000
line is your part’s pins which are 10thou too small.
; NON-PLATED HOLES START AT T1
; THROUGH (PLATED) HOLES START AT T100

In addition FritzingCheckPart.py is indicating a number of warnings and errors (it won’t find the incorrect hole sizes though. The main error is that breadboard has no layerId ( a group named breadboard that contains the entire svg.) The only thing I am aware of that this does is not export the part as an image, but it is annoying as people then complain about the part not exporting correctly.
Error 69: File
‘svg.breadboard.Parallax2axisJoystick_7c303a38bc68c97605667df8047a0099_1_breadboard.svg.bak’
At line 97
Found a drawing element before a layerId (or no layerId)
This tutorial may assist in correcting these problems
