Interesting concept, but I think having some white space in the center block would have made it more challenging to solve. I really enjoyed the border, but the center felt like an exercise in colouring.

A really handsome image. Very fun to solve as well.
Thank you!

I loved the border, thanks!

Lots of dittos here. How do the "Dottes" weigh in on this?

Well, this Dotte just solved this puzzle... but I ditto too! ;)

Yuck.

I don´t know what is "ditto" (English is not my native language) but ditto Meg's comment :)

In old documents the " symbol was often put on a line when the contents of that line matched the contents of the line above. This symbol was called the "Ditto Mark." In more recent history, America has a conservative radio host named Rush Limbaugh who accepts call in commentary. When a caller wanted to restate or agree with what a previous caller had said they would simply say "ditto" and the general public came to call them "dittoheads" as they were typically lock-step in agreement with everything either the host or a previous caller/guest had to say.

In its use here, ditto simply means the previous commentator said the same as what I intended to say so there's no point in repeating it. "I agree with what (fill in the blank) said."

Hope that explains it for you, Luis. Glad to have you commenting on the puzzles, even with a ditto.
