Puzzle Description:

I have tried to make one of those pictures that look 3D-ish when you look at it with eyes crossed in a weird way. The two dots at the top are supposed to be a help - if you look at them in such a way that it looks like three dots, and you can focus on the middle one, the picture below should have become 3D. It seems to be better to hold the head a bit further away from the screen. I have managed to make it work for me, so I hope it works for you too! :o)

I thought all these puzzles were supposed to look like that. I thought everything looked like that. I may need to go to the 99 Cent Store and get some new glasses.

I forgot to say thank you. Thank you very much.

I can't see the 3D effect, but I appreciate the originality.

Wow! Your directions worked great. What a cool concept! Was it hard to create? If not, please do more! Thank you so much.

David,
What a hoot you are!

Thanks Minnie! It wasn't hard at all once I understood how it worked and how much is possible to do in this puzzle form. I tried out a lot before it looked ok. And it was fun to do, so I'll probably do more in the future. I really like those much more complicated ones and have a very nice book full of them. :o)

I love those books. Such fun to find those hidden images.
#8: Justin Edge (jstnedge) on Nov 23, 2008 [SPOILER]
is it blue circles in front of black squares with green diamonds in the back?
#9: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Nov 23, 2008 [SPOILER]
I actually saw the green diamonds in the front, but it worked this time! Nice!
#10: Agneta (aggge) on Nov 24, 2008
#8 Justin, yes, that's right!

I thought both the green and the blue were in the front when I looked.
Fun concept and idea. I too love these books. :)

Ditto 3.

I finally just got to this one. I love 3-D images and saw the colors top to bottom as also front to back. I don't need the dots to see the effect, but once I had the image locked, I looked at the dots and they did NOT align. I found that with two extra spaces between the dots they did align, then held the alignment when I changed the size of the puzzle. I don't know if that correction applies only to my eyes, or if it would help everyone.

Of course, I don't know if anyone's going to see this comment 4-1/2 months after the last one was posted. But if they do, nice job.

Interesting.

Wow! I never thought the 3D-effect would work for a pbn on a computer screen. But I saw it, with the green dots furthest away. Thanks alot!

Fantastic! I love those 3D puzzles, and this one worked really well. Bravo!

It did work!
