I solved the top half OK but could see the bottom half wouldn't be easy. What you need to do is go into edit for your puzzle and then click on the grey box that says check. It will tell you when your puzzle is not logically solvable. Then you can tweak it by filling in a few more squares here and there. You can keep clicking on the grey check square until it tells you your puzzle is OK. Don't get discouraged. Keep trying. The top half of your puzzle is really cute.

Awesome image I couldn't solve tough. Thanks!

Those flowers threw me for a loop, but I got it! Very cute!

The outside and top can be solved with line logic.

Then the red and blue flowers can be solved with color logic. The last two black pixels can also be placed with color logic.

That leaves eleven green pixels to be placed. And the only way is to guess using picture "logic". Luckily, it's pretty easy.

Very pretty. The only matter with green squares in the 24-25. rows. You can repair easily but by checking you can look for mistakes before saving, too.
Using of "color logic" doesn't mean mistake but multiple solution is matter.

Cute!

I agree with Infrapinklizard & Thomas; the flowers were solvable with color logic and only the last 4 green pixels in rows 24-25 could have possible multiple solutions (but it was clear where they needed to go).

I redid the flowers. It still comes up as multiple solution, but the only thing that changes are the two diagonal green squares on the right by her arm.

This is a great solution. Maybe not quite as pretty as the first, but still a wonderful puzzle. Please make more. You have a great imagination and a good feel for color balance.

If you added green pixels at r25c3 and r24c4 and on the other side at r25c18 and r24c17 then there'd be a unique solution and the picture would be substantially the same.

Alternatively you could add black pixels at r24c4 and r24c17. This would also make it unique and would define the arms more.

Dear CooDuh,
It's OK, it's over... You should make your 2nd attempt (a brand new puzzle) :)
#16: Linda Martin (ilovethispuzzle123) on Sep 20, 2013
what a wonderful first puzzle, coodah. I love the colorful little dutch girl. and I like the symmetry too. I hope you make more puzzles as this was a very fun solve.

Very sweet. I had fun solving it. Thanks.
