That is absolutely beautiful, Nell. I confess, I peeked, because it is difficult for me to work a 5 color puzzle that tall. But I understand it needs to be that big to do justice to the gorgeous detail.#2: Jane Doe (telly) on Apr 17, 2010

Did not work it because the size requires too much up and down movement. Getting rid of the large white borders would have helped.#6: Julie Bay (jb) on Feb 11, 2023
