My kid walked by while I was working on this one and said “Uh, what a terrible puzzle!” I laughed: because of all the orange? “Yeah, it would be better if the horse was something else- purple, or green.” But also because of all the single-shape pieces, I’m guessing. It wasn’t too difficult until I got to the end, those black background areas took a lot of trial-and-error fitting. I admit orange is not my favorite color either, but I like having a carousel horse puzzle in my collection, so I’ll probably keep this one until I come across another that I like more.
