Another jigsaw from a composite. You’ve seen the centre section previously, the outside is added to make it a standard size and the lettering is to help the boss in her quest to complete it, which she did over the course of a week.

As usual a very fine composite. I was trying to find something wrong with it. So I will pick on your choice of the letters colors. For me the color blends in too much with the background. My eyes ain’t what they used to be.

I dulled them down Frank - didn’t want to make it too easy! Think I might have overdone it a bit, it was commented on by the puzzler.

Excellent, as usual, Dave!

I never had the patience for jigsaw puzzles.

I really like the image, but as NJFrank stated, the lettering is very hard to discern from the background.
Other than that, the puzzle picture is nicely done.

Thanks Will - and, yes, I should have made it a bit clearer but it’s difficult to anticipate the printed outcome (well, that’s my excuse!).

OMG, another nightmare puzzle. How long did it take her to complete it?

She spent about a week of spare time on it I reckon, so not too bad really (!). I do admit I could have made life a bit easier but I am getting to understand the requirements of puzzles and puzzle-doers Curmudgeon.

A neat composite. I too thought the lettering was quite light but understand that for making it a jigsaw puzzle, it may have been a good idea to be light to increase the difficulty and make the experience of assemblage last longer.

Thanks Ellen. Yes, that was the idea but possibly overdone a little!

In the final analysis, it all depends on the happiness of the puzzle-doer.

I’m pleased to say the lady was pleased with it Ellen, so that is definitely success, she’s been a puzzle to me for the last fifty-five years!

Similar situation here in reverse. I’ve likely been a puzzle to my husband for the last 56 years!!!
