Yes I enjoyed a lot.

I enjoyed it a lot as well - it was a little difficult but very impressive with your little flecks of color. Well done Miss Kaella!

I always enjoy ten year olds - I have one of my own at home. ;-) Cute picture! I liked puzzling out where all the dots go.

What an excellent puzzle! Thank you!!

I solved everything with logic except for the placement of two squares at the end, where I guessed right the first time. Very nice work.

This is about two or three pixels away from being a really terrific puzzle. As it is, it is fun to solve. The wonky flower petal shapes and the little flecks of color make it surprising and challenging, plus the final result looks good.

The problem is that in the end it just misses being logically solvable, because there are two parts that have multiple solutions. If there are multiple solutions then people have to guess which one you wanted, and guessing the image isn't as much fun as reasoning it out for most people.

So, the first problem is the two green dots to the right of the flower. They can be solved two different ways. I'd change one of them to a blue dot.

The second problem is the flower petal on the upper left. This has (at least) two solutions as well. (Sorry piglet, you can't have solved all but the two green dots by logic). Adding one red pixel to this probably would fix it. Maybe turning the pixel in row 6, column 5 red would do it. If you hit the "check" button on the puzzle editor, it'll tell you if you fixed the problem or not.

Whatever you do, don't change a lot. Sometimes I make these suggestions to people and they go and totally change the puzzle. But this is such a fun puzzle it'd be a shame to do too much with it. Yeah, you could obviously make it have one solution by filling in the insides of the flower petals with red, but that would also make the puzzle boring. Only a light touch is needed here. You shouldn't have to change more than a couple pixels.

I hope you'll take the time to make some changes. I'd so like to see this almost-great puzzle turn great.

Completely logical now. :)

Great! Fun to do!

Nothing new to add- just a "thank you" for a nice job!

Yup, this puzzle works great now. I like it.

Confetti ?

Now if we could just add the apostrophe to "old's" things would be pretty near perfect (and maybe some initial caps in the title, but who wants to be too picky).

This puzzle was great... very fun to solve. Far better than anything I could create I'm sure, though I have yet to try a puzzle of my own :)

Very nice and fun to solve puzzle. It's even better because the author is a ten years old.
Congratulations Kaella, I thank you for your effort in making it a unique solution puzzle. I think this is your first puzzle, continue posting more, I'm sure they will be great.

Quite nice and fun to solve. Harder than I expected, but no guessing. Great job!!
