They both sound good to me. I don't think it matters. I don't discern any difference in meaning between the two choices either.

adjective order fascinates me, how do we know the sequence that sound ok, and the one that doesn't? I think it is related to narrowing down definitions,
in this case there doesn't seem to be much difference, but I'd put tiny before little, as tiny seems smaller than little, so it futher modifies the basic idea ... but that isn't neccesarily a "right"view!
