Nice first puzzle, and yes, it is pretty!

Very nice and cute. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Suggestion. This is a really pretty first puzzle, but notice the "moderate lookahead?" where it says solvability?
This usually means it makes it a little harder to solve. If you look below your puzzle on the Create Puzzles page you will see a box with the word Check inside of it. If you check on this box from time to time it will tell you if there will be any problems solving your puzzle. Most puzzle makers will make sure they get the following message:

This puzzle has a unique solution. Terrific!

This puzzle can be solved by line and color logic alone. Cool!

Very pretty.

@Norma Dee
If puzzles a lot more complex than this - that should frankly have "Deep lookahead" - get a pass to be "Logically solvable with line and color logic alone", then this should be as well. Maybe it's just that the people are incredibly lenient and biased toward certain users, I don't know.

David, if a puzzle's solvavbility is rated Logically solvable with line and color logic alone, that is determined by Jan's program. not by users.

Yes, David, we do think Aldege is a pretty swell guy. We also let him know when his puzzles are hard to solve.

:)

Nice puzzle!

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

This is definitely moderate lookahead.

After line logic,
two-way logic on the 2 in c6 - whether it goes in r2 or r4, c7r2 will be green.
LL
the same, mirrored:
whether the 2 in c15 goes in r2 or r5, c14r2 will be green
LL
Then smile logic to finish

I certainly don't mind harder puzzles being created. However - one thing I do appreciate is when the creator has solved it themselves so they know it is solvable.

Nice! Enjoyed solving it!
