Thx Lilly,great gift,i love how you made this.The happy couple thank you.

An excellent example of portraying 3-D in a 2-D medium! I get so tired of images, especially of big scenes, that look like hieroglyphics or 3rd century european style depictions that are flat, flat, flat. (And please don't get me started on those ridiculous "faces" composed of a blue and a red dot floating midair on top of a torso). This is a fantastic example of the potential of PBN, Great Job, Lilly!!

Larry in my opinion the potential of PBN comes in many forms.There is nothing wrong with the floating blue and red pixels for faces just like your faceless silhouette in your puzzle titled Shhh!,their both effective.Faces are very hard to do unless their done on a large grid.I don't see why you had to criticize some of us for our techniques on making faces.You could of just kept your criticism to yourself.

I enjoy those two-dot faces. It's an easy way to portray "face" in a puzzle with a lot of figures in it.

Larrry, when Jota and I used that technique in some of our earlier puzzles, Jan thought it was a great idea.

Lilly, I'm not quite sure I recognize this image. Is it wind chimes? Or is it a red and white gift wrapped box with a ribbon on top? If it's a gift box, I sure do want to know what's inside! :-)

As pointed out in Aldege's comment (critism?), what I've written is just my OPINION. We all have them. My opinion and $3 will get you a cup of coffee at most coffee houses these days. The fact is, I just don't enjoy these puzzles as much as ones done by say, Jota, Tom, Theresa K, Marie-Louise, or the great one, Kadou. These folks can convey their images without what I consider the easy out of the "floaty-face". Sorry to ruffle your feathers, Aldege, but from what I gather from reading these comments, you are more of a crafter than a solver. Maybe the perspective of a solver will enhance your crafting. The ones of yours I do enjoy are the ones like the car salespersons series. Now those are enjoyable, generally a challenge and rewarding to solve. Please, no one take offense at my comments. The fact is, some puzzles are better than others. This solver would prefer to have more of the ones he likes and these comments are a way of letting the crafters know which ones and styles he would like to see more of.

Thanks, everyone. Teresa, it's a gift box. As for what's inside... lots of coupons to the drive-in!
