Puzzle Description:

The object on the left is very small. The object on the right is very big. The border is... just right! Answer in the first spoiler.

Pinwheel! I told you the border was right. :-) The P is for pinwheel, and it rotates, just like the pinwheel.

Here's how to make one. Show your favorite little person, and when they're done, stick in in the ground in your garden to scare away the birds.

Well I was totally lost on this one until I read the description. Then it made sense! I enjoyed the border on this one as well -- I don't know how you come up with these! My small person is hanging on my arm right now so we'll check out those pinwheel instructions. :)

Sallie, first I made a really nice inverted pattern of a white pinwheel on black background for the border. Then while I was test solving it, I realized the black space looked like a swastika. That just wouldn't do. Plus, the white pinwheel would have given you the answer to easily. :-)

I hope your little one enjoys the homemade pinwheel.

Like Sallie I didn't get this one either but once I read the answer it made perfect sense. Good job!
