Good job!

Lovely!

Thanks, Wendy.

A bit of trivia: Leyendecker is famous for his illustrations on the covers of Saturday Evening Post about a hundred years ago. His art was used for the first illustrated advertisement for underwear. I will not be doing a puzzle for that.

Aw shucks! I was looking forward to that! :D

I guess you didn't appreciate my comment. I can take it back.

Thanks, Adam. There was a time warp - I didn't see your comment until after I posted mine. No take backs - on positive comments anyway. :)

LOL. I wouldn't take it back. It really was nice, and I always tell the truth.

Leyendecker is one of my favorite illustrators! nice.

Thanks, Jane. My little pixel grid representation doesn't do it justice. Here's the real thing:

beautiful. very elegantly done.

Thanks, Linda.

fun to solve, but until I read your description, I didn't see the dancers. I thought it was a two-headed monster! Sorry, maybe it is too late in the day... Very fun to solve and I hope you do more!

Superb!

Thanks, David.

Great job!

Thanks, Karen.

I really enjoyed solving this one...thanks, Teresa!
