Puzzle Description:

Sometimes I need to biggen stuff.

color logic lets you place the black cross initially and place a lot of dots
edge logic gets you place 1 pixel in each of the blue 5 clues

That's why I attached the handle that way.

I think it took some looking (more than 1 or 2 steps) ahead to get it.

And not to be picky, but isn't it "embiggen stuff"? :D

Is that a new species of butterfly you caught?

Isn't it a metal detector from the top?

OK I'm talking out of my butt. I was thinking that if R12C12 was black than that would make one dot too few but you can't actually see that until you get to the bottom right corner and get a contradiction. Hence the butt talk so...never mind.
