Magdalena, when a 50x50 pattern can be solved by repeating almost exactly the solution to a 20x20 or smaller, with no challenge, no surprises, no humour, and no clever title, it becomes an exercise in tedium. It could be why no one else has commented on either of your two puzzles. As a non-creator myself, I appreciate your effort in creating a puzzle that is solvable, and I hope you will continue to make puzzles for us. But most of us solvers find that recognizable images are more enjoyable than patterns. You have solved fewer than 20 puzzles on WebPBN. Why don't you solve some puzzles rated high in quality to see what I mean, and check out the Drawing the Picture section in the Create Puzzles button on the left of the screen.

Also Jan Wolter, who created this site, has an excellent article with helpful hints and recommended do's and don'ts. I've always felt it should be required reading. It's that good.

Agree that it could be smaller, but it is a pretty pattern. Reminds me of a Chinese restaurant I use to go to, they had a similar pattern around the border of their menus.
