“Village Tree” Puzzle by Cobble: Review
At first glance, I thought this puzzle might be a bit “dull”. I wasn’t sure about the colour palette or the busy green pattern of the Christmas tree featured in the town square. I was so happy to be wrong! Coloured ornaments, twinkling lights and fun outdoor scenes to make this Christmas jigsaw puzzle “sparkle”.
There were so many design elements in this puzzle to keep it interesting! varying patterns in the rows of houses, the pretty gradient of yellow/ blue skyline and lots of fun textures throughout. Several village scenes, like warmly dressed, figure-skaters, happy carolers and a horse-drawn -sleigh brought me back to fond memories of childhood and snowy holidays.
I found this to be a medium difficultly level of a puzzle. The large area of the green Christmas trees made it a little challenging. I rated it at 7.5 because of the beautiful illustration by artist Persis Clayton Weirs and of course because of the outstanding quality of Cobble Hill puzzles. It rated a bit lower because I don’t normally enjoy “portrait” puzzles- they are sometimes hard with my terrible eyesight.
The pretty Christmas colours, the lovely artwork and the quality of the puzzle made for a great Christmas puzzling experience!
I give this puzzle a 7.5/10!
