The border was tricky to complete due to the dark colors. A good portion of this image is dark due to the scene being a night time theme again.
I had yellows and blues to start assembling the snow-ice and lines on buildings to complete the main portion of the top first Gingerbread house with the orange-like colors.
The buildings behind the trees were tricky as were the homes in front of the skating rink. There were many skater and people figures. Some I recognized as being 'famous' like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis.
Comments...
The finish is always nice on these Dowdle jigsaw puzzles. The image on the full size image looks dark but when assembling the pieces, as you can see below, there is bright outlines on the details that were helpful.
This was a Thrift store purchase for $1.00 with no missing pieces however the cut was really quite loose and the pieces dropped into place and there was no moving sections of attached pieces. They had to be moved and placed one at a time (sadly of course).
