Brilliant brainwave.
Color us ready for this fantastically vibrant puzzle—once you start, it’ll be impossible to stop (maybe it’s the pull of the ombre shades melting into each other?) Made from thick-stock art paper, you can assemble it over and over with nary a bent edge. The end result is so striking though, you might just want to frame it and proudly showcase your triumph.
